An action plan in favour of the Mediterranean cinema schools

The three cinema schools members of COPEAM - ALBA (Beirut), ESAC (Tunis), ESAV (Marrakech) and the international telematic University Uninettuno (Rome) - have launched an action plan aimed at developing a long-term concrete cooperation.

Following the fruitful work meeting held in Beirut in May 2015, hosted by ALBA, some common challenges and joint actions have been identified in order to favour the students and teachers’ mobility, the organisation of shared workshops, the setting up of regional university degrees and of promotional, market-accessing tools for the students’ works.

In this framework, in order to support the promotion of the schools’ films, a specific TV programme devoted to the latter and to their young directors will be conceived, produced and broadcast on the Uninettuno’s educational satellite channel. The students in graphic arts coming from our three schools are called to participate in a contest for the development of the graphic identity of the mentioned programme.

This pilot operation will be presented during next Conference of COPEAM (Ajaccio, 7-9 April 2016) as an example of concrete media-schools and cinema-TV synergies aimed at promoting the young Mediterranean talents and to be carried out according to a collaborative, international and intercultural approach.
