"FUNDING THE ARTS IN CUBA"
(2001):
A 57 minutes program directed by Cecilia Domeyko and supported by grants from the Ford Foundation and the Miranda Foundation of Mexico, this beautifully shot one-hour educational program in Spanish outlines how people can set up foundations and non-profit organizations to support the arts. Filled with a tremendous range of art -- Cuban street music, an all-woman orchestra performing new Cuban compositions in a beautiful basilica, sculptors, ceramacists, painters, classical and modern dancers, this lively program was shot under the most difficult circumstances, yet is emerging not only as a wonderful guide to funding the arts, but a work of art in its own right.

"It's In Your Hands: Choose What's Best For You and Your Baby"
(2000):
Accent Media Producer/President Cecilia Domeyko has just completed post-production on two 15-minute documentaries in English and Spanish on Maternal HIV for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the providers of Medicare and Medicaid.

Domeyko traveled to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami and New York with Assistant Producer Nora Biennia, shooter Obeid Malikyar, and sound man Juan Silva to shoot portraits of five HIV positive women who relay their personal experiences with HIV during their pregnancy.

The programs will be distributed nationwide as part of a bilingual educational kit to state and local health departments, hospitals, and community groups. The aim of this kit is to educate doctors and women of child-bearing years that ALL women should be tested for HIV during pregnancy regardless of their risk.

"Economic Recovery After Involuntary Resettlement"
(1995):
Producer, Writer, and Director: Cecilia Domeyko for the World Bank. This videotape addresses the need for the inclusion of plans for people forced to resettle as a result of major development projects. Many major development projects such as dams and highways which are funded by the World Bank force hundreds and sometimes thousands of people to leave their homes and move to new locations. In the past, this has caused loss of assets, upheaval in families, long-term unemployment, and in the most severe cases, social unrest. This program, including World Bank footage and original footage shot on location by Accent Media in Mexico, dramatizes the injustices and hardships suffered by involuntary resettlers, and outlines the means by which responsible planners can prevent such disasters. Ms. Domeyko also directed adaptations of this program in Spanish and French.

(1995):
Producer, Writer, and Director Cecilia Domeyko. Videographer and Associate Producer Jack Jorgens. Independent Production by Accent Media. The story of a group of Chilean women living in a Chilean fishing village who have become famous for their embroidered tapestries.

  A hauntingly beautiful and moving portrait of a small group of ordinary women who demonstrate extraordinary talent. A tale of the role of art, mystery, and imagination in everyday life, of the power of women to transform their families' lives and the economic status of a whole village. Premiered at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. in 1995. The Spanish version aired on Discovery Channel throughout Latin America in 1996.
