As some of you might have noticed, I have not written an article for the past few weeks and there is a very good reason behind this.
As of this Monday, August 11th, I have assumed the position of Head of the UDC University's Film School.
I am very excited about this decision. I know it is a great responsibility and I am greatly honored by being chosen as the first head of this brand new Film School in Mexico.
UDC started operating formally in 1992 as a private university with official government recognition and certification to offer the Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design and Administrative Computing.
Today UDC University offers 13 Bachelors Degrees and 4 Masters Degrees and has become one of the top universities in Northern Mexico.
The UDC University in Tijuana will start it's first semester of Cinematography School this Monday September 1st. 2008, making us the third university in all of Mexico (the other two universities are located in Mexico City) that can provide a Bachelors Degree in the Film Arts that is officially recognized and certified by the Mexican Government's Educational Secretariat (UDC University's Film School official recognition and certification number is RVOE BC-03-M2/08).
This official government recognition and certification means that UDC University has filed a complete educational programme for it's Film School along with documentation and procedural information, and that this has been analyzed, evaluated and ACCEPTED by the Mexican Government's Educational Secretariat, guaranteeing that our educational programme and teaching methods comply with national and international standards to offer a BACHELORS DEGREE to our Film students.
The UDC has also made educational agreements with the San Diego Latino Film Festival and with the San Antonio de Los Baños University in Habana, Cuba.
The UDC University has successfully run for 4 years the CORTO CREATIVO FILM FESTIVAL that is now considered one of Mexico's top showcases for filmmakers.
