Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión (spanish), abbreviated EICTV - (The International Film and Television School) - was founded on December 15, 1986, by Colombian journalist and writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Argentinean poet and film maker Fernando Birri, and Cuban theoretician and film maker Julio Garcia Espinosa, amongst others, in Havana Province, Cuba.
The school aims not only to provide a comprehensive theoretical and practical cinema education, but also to exist as a completely self-sufficient environment and community for its students, faculty members and staff.[1][2][3]
