THE NEW ESCOLA BRASILEIRA DE CINEMA E TELEVISAO -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Brazilian School of Cinema and Television is a project designed within the institutional framework of the State University of Norte Fluminense upon the model of the International Film and Television School of San Antonio de los Ba os (Cuba). Its primary goal is to provide professional training to the new generation that will run the Brazilian audiovisual industry after the year 2000. Consonant with the zeitgeist of the new millennium, the school will be installed at a XVII century Jesuitic college, presently under restoration at 28 km off the city of Campos (state of Rio de Janeiro). The building where long ago scholars used to unveil the mysteries of theology, is now being transformed into a secular temple for the survey of the state-of-the-art technologies and contemporary artistic manifestations of moving pictures. Conceived as a powerhouse of creative energy, the EBCTV has many comparative advantages that make it an ideal framework for the development of joint ventures with international partners. Based on the nature and scale of the project, the school may participate bringing in infrastructure, resources and/or expertise. At this stage, the school is developing strategies to promote student and teacher exchanges with other film schools. We are also considering proposals to organize specific training projects and forums in partnership with other related institutions, and further explore recent local trends such as eco-cultural tourism. EBCTV welcomes proposals for collaborative projects. We are particularly interested in the possibility of exchanging interdisciplinary residencies, co-productions and co-organizing intensive workshops in which we could share facilities, equipment, staff and offer to interested applicants the advantages of a cross-cultural approach to video and television making. The EBCTV will be under the direction of Orlando Senna, who besides his credentials as scriptwriter, journalist and film director also has a rich and extensive experience as faculty and General Director of the school of San Antonio. The similitudes between both centers do not end there: EBCTV will also host a limited number of students, all with fullscholarships living in the school campus (12 in each course for a total of 24 per year) The curriculum will be divided in three areas: Regular Course, Information and Recycling Workshops (open courses for professionals) and the Permanent Seminary of Dramaturgy and Communication (a forum for multidisciplinary interchange and research guided by invited experts from all over the world) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----------- For more information: Patricia Martin Escola Brasileira de Cinema e Televisao Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense (UENF) Avenida Alberto Lamego 2000 Campos dos Goytacazes -RJ CEP: 28015-620 Brasil fax: 55247-230160 e-mail: [log in to unmask] ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
