How we teach

We are an art school, not a technology school!

Our program is called „The Magnificent Seven” and includes: Directing, Cinematography, Screenwriting, Production, Art and Film History, Post-production and what we call „Career Paths.”

During the first year of studies, students perform a series of short workshop exercises on a given topic. By assessing and analysing their own film exercises, together with the professors, they discover how their own film story can become more complete thanks to light, colour, camera movement, frame composition, etc. The program is prepared in such a way that students develop and verify the acquired skills on an ongoing basis.

We include the next levels of knowledge about the art of film, so that at the end you can become a true „Universal Filmmaker”.

We will take care of your career

If you make a great movie, we’ll show it at film festivals around the world.
We know how to do it. Our students win festivals every year.
We were most awarded film school in the world in 2021!
