Mission & Strategy
The Film School of Uruguay (ECU) is a department of the Cinemateca Uruguaya (Uruguayan Cinematheque), the main institution of film culture and preservation in the country. It was created in 1995 as the first institution in Uruguay dedicated to professional training in filmmaking.
Its goal is to train students in the use of audiovisual media, encouraging creativity, imagination, exchange and the expressive freedom of new filmmakers. The school contributes this way to the development of the Uruguayan cinema.
