Film University
The Universidad Del Cine (UDC) (Film University) is the oldest private film university in Mexico.[1] UDC produces almost 150 short films a year, many showing at international festivals.[2]
History
It was founded on 1993 by a group of teachers and students breaking up from the NYFA, CCC and CUEC. It has grown since to become a recognized university with strong presence in the industry.[3] Its campus was originally built on the Magdalena Contreras borough. However, it was then moved to a new location near downtown Mexico.[4]
UDC aims not only to provide a comprehensive theoretical and practical cinema education, but also to exist as a business-related social networking environment and community for its students, faculty members and staff.[5]
