The Advanced Documentary audiovisual storytelling course is aimed at teachers and educators from across the country who have completed Begginer and are interested in learning another format that can be implemented in the classroom, to explore new forms of audiovisual storytelling.
The course content will be developed based on the curricular structure:
Practical and technical classes will be taught, designed for individual and group exercises. The practical classes will be complemented by technical classes in photography, camera, editing, sound, directing actors and actresses, and art direction. In addition, several complete short-film projects will be produced. Students will be supported throughout by Cinebase teachers, ESCAC graduates.
Teachers who have completed the workshop will gain access to the Classroom Support programme. This involves the active participation of teachers trained in the Audiovisual Storytelling Course, with support from Cinebase in the classroom, studying, proposing and supervising specific workshop and project proposals for different schools that want to incorporate audiovisual storytelling into their curriculum.
Teachers who have completed the workshop will gain access to the Storytelling Handbook, a guide to practical exercises for use in the classroom. It will help teachers recreate the exercises from the workshop with their students in a practical and fun way. It contains more than 100 practical exercises organised in a simple database, where they can be filtered by complexity, duration, specialism, etc.
For 30 years, ESCAC has worked to discover and nurture the talent of young filmmakers. We do this through a teaching approach based on “learning by doing” and project-based work.
With more than 600 workshops held at different educational centres across the country and over 100.000 students taught in our classrooms, Cinebase is a leading audiovisual education project.
Empowering our students to become storytellers in the most complete format: audiovisual media.
Teaching them to tell stories through any of the disciplines taught at the school.
Cinebase–ESCAC teachers work in the industry and have worked on series and films such as: Élite, Valeria, La Casa de Papel, SkyRojo, Merlí Sapere Aude, L´Última nit al Karaoke, Te estoy Amando Locamente… among many others.

Our courses for teachers aim to bring Audiovisual Storytelling into the classroom; they do not focus on technical audiovisual knowledge. Therefore, despite having prior knowledge, given how the courses are structured, we always recommend starting with Beginner.
