Tania Hermida height - How tall is Tania Hermida?

Following after her father, Hermida studied medicine for a single year, but decided that it was not her vocation. At 19, she discovered a scholarship course in film hosted at the International School of Film and TV at San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba, and decided to apply. She won the scholarship and, in 1991, graduated from the school. Though her father had admired the Cuban Revolution and promoted it in the Hermida household and instilled in Tania a respect for Cuba, she became fascinated with the ways that the people of Cuba expressed their dissatisfaction with the Communist government. Her first film, 11 minutes in length, was about a Cuban plastic artist who used his talents to creatively criticize the government.

Hermida completed complementary studies in the aesthetics of cinema at the University of Valladolid in 1990 and creative writing at the School of Letters in Madrid in 1998. In 2003, she completed a master's degree in cultural studies at the University of Azuay [es] .
