The Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya (Cinema and Audiovisual School of Catalonia) was founded in 1993 as an offshoot of the vocational studies programme in Image and Sound of Centre Calassanç.

ESCAC is a member of the International Association of Film and Televisions Schools (CILECT), which represents 120 educational centres specialized in audiovisual creation, and a founding member of the European Grouping of Film and Television Schools (GEECT) and the Federation of Latin American Image and Sound Schools (FEISAL).

In our 25-year history, we’ve had various logos. Here you’ll find our current logo.

If you’re long on talent but are short on financial resources, we’ll help you find a way to learn with us.

At the ESCAC Foundation, 13% of our budget is reserved for scholarships to cover the cost of our BA in Cinematography (Official degree) and the pre-university course, Foundation.

We want to give young people who are talented and eager to learn the chance to attend ESCAC and find their path in the film and audiovisual industry.

Various companies and institutions support our scholarship programme. Thanks to the collaboration of Institut Català de les Empreses Culturals (ICEC), SGAE Foundation, Cinesa, DAMA and Resa, over 100 low-income students attend ESCAC each year.
