It was influenced by the Nouvelle Vague and by the First Contest of Experimental Film organized in Mexico that year.

History

The Escuela Nacional de Artes Cinematográficas was founded in 1963 as the official film school of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. In 1972, it became a member of the International Association of Film and Television Schools (CILECT). In 1986, it launched an annual cycle of film production. In 2015, the school launched a degree in Cinematography with nine specialty fields. In 2019, the school was supplemented by the National School of Cinematographic Arts, a new UNAM entity designed to give a national dimension to the film school.[1]
