CILECT

The International Association of Film and Television Schools (French: Centre international de liaison des écoles de cinéma et de télévision, CILECT) is the association of the world's major film and television schools.^[1]

CILECT was founded in Cannes in 1955 at the proposal of Rémy Tessonneau, general director of IDHEC (Institut des Hautes Etudes Cinématographiques), who gathered together for the first time higher education film school representatives from France, Italy, Poland, Spain, UK, USA, and USSR.^[2]

Its goals are to provide a means for the exchange of ideas among member schools, and to help them understand the future of education for creative personnel in film, television, and related media. It is dedicated to the creation, development and maintenance of regional and international co-operation among its member schools, and to the encouragement of film and television training in the developing world.
