The Madrid Film School

The Madrid Film School,[1] officially Escuela de Cinematografía y del Audiovisual de la Comunidad de Madrid (ECAM) in Spanish, is a film school located in the city of Madrid. It was founded in 1994, established as a not-for-profit cultural foundation under the purview of the Community of Madrid and is among Spain's leading film-related institutions,[2] and the largest in the Spanish capital since the closure of the Escuela Oficial de Cine in 1976. It was admitted as a member of the International Association of Film and Television Schools in 1999.[3]

It offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and other courses across all cinema and TV disciplines. Many of its alumni have gained notoriety in a number of audiovisual fields, from screenwriting to art direction, including Paco Plaza, Aurora Jiménez, Verónica Fernandez, Miguel Ángel Vivas, David Temprano, Rodrigo Sorogoyen, Fernando González Molina, Luis Moya, and Marta Salas.[4]

In 2020 The Hollywood Reporter listed it among 'The Top 15 International Film Schools', featuring it as one of the world's fifteen most important film schools outside the USA.[5] In 2019 and 2020, Madrid Film School teaching staff and alumni among them won twelve Goya Awards, Spanish cinema's highest honor.[6][7]
