Escuela Internacional de Cine y TV (Spanish), abbreviated EICTV - (The International Film and TV School) - was founded on December 15, 1986, by Colombian journalist and writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Argentinean poet and film maker Fernando Birri, and Cuban theoretician and film maker Julio Garcia Espinosa, amongst others, in San Antonio de Los Baños, Artemisa Province, Cuba.
After directing a short film about La Pampa (La pampa gringa) in 1963, Birri retired from directing and only returned 12 years later to make a movie about Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Mi hijo el Che) in 1985.
