Financiación de cine independiente: dossier, pitch, mercados y coproducciones

Run by Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión (EICTV)

Writers with a project in hand, even just a synopsis, spend two weeks in Cuba building the paperwork to finance it: a sales dossier, a pitch and a list of labs, festivals and markets to target. The Spanish-language course ends with final pitches, and participants are urged to accredit for the Havana festival's industry section to show their projects there.

Starts Nov 23, 2026 (starts in 34 days)
