International Academy of Image Arts and Sciences  http://www.accademiaimmagine.org/  The International Academy of Image Arts was founded by Gabriele Lucci.The establishment of the school is based on the experience gained by the L'Aquila Film Institute 'La Lanterna Magica" over the last twenty years. The Film Institute has always been very attuned to new developments in the language of film and audiovisuals. In 1992 the Film Institute signed an agreement with the University of L'Aquila where the two organisations made a commitment to allow the school to be integrated into the university system. In 1993 the Academy began offering international seminars and in 1995 it began operating courses of study. The Abruzzo Regional Government's recognition of the Academy as a school of excellence for highly specialised training in the audiovisual industry has contributed to its achievements. Both the provincial government and city council of L'Aqulia support this project and are represented on the Academy's board of administration. The Academy has expanded its activities beyond education and training to include research and development. It has published books on cinema and its leading figures, it runs Cinema Massimo (a fully restored art-deco cinema which screens quality films) and it produces highly specialised audiovisuals to further knowledge and understanding of the potential of the language of audiovisual images. These various activities and the collaboration between the Abruzzo Film Commission and the L'Aquila Film Institute place the Academy in a uniquely privileged position to observe the world of cinema and to conduct research into the art and science of producing audiovisual images. |
