Mexico & Caribbean

IMCINE

Instituto Mexicano de Cinematografía

Government Film Institute · Mexico City

The Mexican Film Institute (founded 1983), the federal body that funds, promotes and develops national cinema — administering the EFICINE/FOCINE production schemes and the country's film statistics, and backing the national film commission. The top-level government anchor for all Mexican film labour, including stunt and action work.

COMEFILM — Mexican Film Commission

Comisión Mexicana de Filmaciones

National Film Commission · Mexico

Mexico's national film commission (an AFCI member), coordinating filming across the country through a network of state and municipal liaisons — permits, locations, crew and institutional contacts. The practical front door for any action production shooting in Mexico, and parent of the state-commission network.

ANDA — National Actors' Union

Asociación Nacional de Actores

Actors' Union — covers stunt · Mexico City

Mexico's national actors' union (founded 1934) and a FIA member. Its own membership page names artists of “cine, teatro… doblaje, stunt” — so stunt performers are a recognised branch. The closest thing Mexico has to formal representation and a register for screen stunt workers.

Baja Film Commission

State Film Commission · Baja California

The film commission for Baja California — the state south of California, home to the Rosarito water-tank studios that built Titanic. It lists crew, schools and production houses, and its filmography spans Titanic, Tomorrow Never Dies, Pearl Harbor and Master and Commander. The most useful single body for the Rosarito studio cluster.

ICAIC

Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos

National Film Institute · Havana, Cuba

The Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (est. 1959), the state body governing film creation, production, distribution and preservation in Cuba — the backbone of the Cuban film industry. Note: the official portal is often unreachable from outside Cuba, but the institute is unambiguously active.

Stunts México

Stunt Agency · Mexico City

A Mexico City stunt agency executing risk scenes for film, TV, commercials and digital content, with trained coordinators and performers and a pitch of 30+ years' experience and high safety standards for national and international productions. The most polished, fully web-verifiable professional stunt outfit found in Mexico; also active on Instagram.

Kinam Stunt Crew

Stunt Team · Mexico City

A Mexican stunt crew with 20+ years designing, executing and advising on risk scenes for film and television — describing itself as “la élite mexicana del riesgo controlado.” The site lists projects, a training (Capacitación) offer and full contacts, with an active Instagram @kinamstunts. A strong working team alongside Stunts México.

Stunts Monterrey

Stunt Team · Monterrey

A Monterrey-based team of stunt performers (dobles de riesgo) for film, TV and web in the industrial north — showing stunt capacity isn't only in Mexico City. The website is minimal and a few years old; the team's day-to-day presence is Instagram @stuntsmonterrey. Listed honestly as a smaller, social-first operation.

CCC

Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica

Public Film School · Mexico City

Founded 1975 with Luis Buñuel as honorary president, one of Mexico's two flagship public film schools — a Licenciatura en Cinematografía plus screenwriting, production and open courses. Not stunt-specific, but the premier training ground for the directors and crews who commission and stage Mexican screen action.

ENAC (UNAM)

Escuela Nacional de Artes Cinematográficas

University Film School · Mexico City

The film school of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), founded 1963 as CUEC and renamed ENAC — together with the CCC one of the two great public film schools. It trains the broad filmmaking workforce rather than stunt performers specifically, but is a core academic pathway into the industry that stages action.

EICTV

Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión

International Film School · Cuba

Founded 1986 by Gabriel García Márquez, Fernando Birri and Julio García Espinosa as a “School of Three Worlds,” the EICTV is one of the most renowned film schools in the world — a residential course plus international workshops drawing students from 50+ countries. The most internationally significant training institution in the Caribbean.
