Cinema for the people

ISKA stands for International Solidarity and Cultural Exchange. This independent media group was founded in Kassel (Germany) in the late 1980´s by university students who had already lived and worked some years in Latin America. We started with a photography workshop for students of a miners´ university in Bolivia, with the collaboration of Eduardo Galeano. In the following years, we realized several audiovisual works in Latin América, gave voice to dozens of latin american social, political and cultural activists in Germany and started to cooperate with the Student Association of the State University (USAC) in Guatemala. We began making films, realizing our own ideas and, at the same time, creating films for the people in Latin America and Europe.
