History
Under the chairmanship of Professor Paul Rivet, in 1955, UNESCO organised a series of consultations to further the work of the International Institute of Educational Cinema, which was previously affiliated to the League of Nations.
On the occasion of the General Conference of UNESCO, held in New Delhi in 1956, the project of establishing an International Institute of Cinema and Television was presented by Mario Verdone, head of the Italian delegation, and approved. The study was entrusted to Jean Benoît-Lévy, filmmaker, honorary director of the United Nations Cinema, assisted by a group of twelve international experts.
The Constitutional Charter of ICFT was signed on 23 October 1958. The most important federations and associations working in the field of audiovisuals and media became the founding members of the ICFT.
In 1980, with the emergence of new technologies, Enrico Fulchignoni, director of artistic and literary creation at UNESCO and president of the ICFT, decided to add audiovisual communication to the missions of the council.
Since the creation of the ICFT, the presidency has been succeeded by: John Maddison (ISFA), Jean d'Arcy (RTF-UN), Raymond Ravar (CILECT), Mario Verdone (CIDALC), Fred Orain (Production), Enrico Fulchignoni (UNESCO), Gérard Bolla (UNESCO) Christopher Roads (British Library), Jean Rouch (CIFES), Daniel Van Espen (Signis), Pierpaolo Saporito (OCCAM), Jean-Michel Arnold (Camera), Hisanori Isomura (NHK) and Inoussa Ousseini (UNESCO).
Mission
The aim of the ICFT is to:
- stimulate the creation and promote the production and distribution of high standard audiovisual works;
- advise international organizations and States on the implementation of artistic, educational and industrial policies;
- create a synergy among creators, professionals and media executives by developing collaboration within its members, especially in the service of the broad orientations of UNESCO;
- set up an arena where different professionals in the field of audiovisual, especially the young people can present their views and suggestions to an international audience;
- encourage training and research in all audiovisual areas, including media education, and offer a space for reflection on the development of technologies in the service of creation, education and culture;
- contribute to the efforts of development of communication, especially in the field of free flow of information.
The ICFT celebrated its 50th birthday at UNESCO on 23 October 2008.
