Independent Film & Television College
is the first of its kind in Iraq.
It was set up in Baghdad in 2004 and provides free-of-charge intensive short courses in film and television technique, theory and production.
We train Iraqi filmmakers and also support their filmmaking by providing production facilities and information about funding and further training.

Student films
Our students' films continued to be shown throughout 2008: at the Arab Film Festival in San Francisco, the Casa Arabe in Madrid, as part of the 'Red Zone, Green Zone' exhibition at Gemak museum in the Hague, and at the British Museum in London as part of its 'Babylon Late' event, in February 2009.
In December 2008, our students' films participated in the Dubai International Film Festival Market and we took part in a panel about film education at the festival.
Some of our former students have gone on to try to make films. Recently, Mounaf Shaker from our first documentary course in 2005, won a prize at the Gulf Film Festival 2009, for his documentary film, Red Zone Citizens.
