About Our Study Programmes

Film and television is about teamwork. The director is one of a team and so are producer, sound recordist and designer, editor, screenwriter, cinematographer and production designer, each making his/her own particular creative and technical contribution to the whole.

The School of Film and Television programmes are designed to develop in the students high level film and television skills at the technical and craft level, as well as to nurture and encourage their creative and artistic development. They will also prepare them for work in a variety of different creative, technical and professional situations.

What are film students searching for on screens? We are in the worst of times where
the experience of watching films in cinemas may cease to exist as the transformation of film responds to the changing times. Yet, a group of film and television students still strives to pursue this raw emotion, bringing the purest feelings to the audience through moving images. Facing regrets, trauma, and memories head-on, they embrace their imperfect selves fully and attempt to forgive themselves in the world of cinema. This is the brand of their growth.
