CINE
CINE (Council on International Nontheatrical Events) is a non-profit organization based in Bethesda, Maryland. Founded in 1957 with the mission of selecting American films for international film festivals[1][2] , CINE's focus has since evolved to supporting emerging and established producers of film, TV and digital media from all around the world through film competitions, educational panels, screenings and networking opportunities.[3]
History
CINE...was originally formed as a result of a national conference of film specialists meeting at the initiative of the National Education Association's Department of Audiovisual Instruction, with its original purpose to help organize a workable system of United States participation in international film events.
