CILECT as the Project of a World Film School: Origins, Specifics, Development
Abstract
The continuing introduction of digital technologies into the
production of meaningful and engaging audiovisual images accentuates
the necessity of international cooperation in the sphere of the professional
education of those young people who are planning to work in film, television
and other screen arts. All over the world film schools are challenged by
problems the solution of which requires consolidated participation of world-
famous masters. This has been recently confirmed at the Congress of the
International Association of Film and Television Schools (CILECT) Congress
held in October 2019 in Moscow in connection with the 100th anniversary of
the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK). This essay analyzes
VGIK's contribution to the process of perfecting programs in the field of screen
arts at different stages of their development.
The essay explores issues of CILECT development since its foundation in
1954. Initially, CILECT was supported by nations with developed film cultures,
such as Brazil, Chile, Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, Poland, the Soviet Union,
Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Today, the Association
unites 180 film schools from 65 nations. The essay analyzes VGIK's role in
the development of film education and, more generally, the development of
screen arts; and emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in this
technological, digital age.
