UDC builds it’s own Movie Theater
As a prelude to the start of the first term of UDC’s FILM SCHOOL, the "University of the Californias" (UDC) in Tijuana has began construction of its own Movie Theater, which will have an approximate capacity of 400 people seated in cinema type upholstered armchairs. It will also house a small audio-visual hall for conferences and presentations.
Architect Héctor Ortiz Peimbert, Coordinator for the Architecture and Civil Engineering School of the UDC, is the man in charge of this project and he has stated that the theater will be properly equipped with a digital projection system and a 35mm film projector. He also commented that the first stage of this project will be inaugurated at the end of August 2008, and concluded by the end of the year.
The DEAN of UDC, Ing. Antonio Carrillo Rodriguez pointed out that “This movie theater will be an open space where we will showcase film projects from all over Latin America and the Caribbean, we want to serve as hosts for Mexican Cinema Exhibitions and to be a space for the independent film directors who often do not find support in commercial movie theaters”.
He also comments that this is one of many actions that the UDC will undertake to support Latin American Cinematography.
Recently the UDC signed an agreement with the New Latin American Cinema Foundation, presided by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and has made a commitment to encourage and promote Mexican and Latin America Cinema, in combination with already existing agreements with the San Diego Latino Film Festival , the Santiago de Chile Short Films Festival and others festivals in France.
Jorge Camarillo, Head of the Communications Sciences Faculty of the UDC, mentioned that this new area will also serve as a classroom and for workshops related to Acting, Staging and Lighting, once its open and ready for the first term of the UDC's Cinematography School in the month of September 2008th.
