PubliKart highlights the opening of the AMCA in Paris: a major recognition for the new school of cinema and audiovisual

Here is a new version, where the presence of the article on the PublikArt site is clearly highlighted in the title, the introduction, and the body of the text, while maintaining a professional and editorial tone adapted to the AMCA site.

PubliKart highlights the opening of the AMCA in Paris: a major recognition for the new school of cinema and audiovisual

The opening of the Académie des Métiers du Cinéma et de l'Audiovisual (AMCA) in Paris is being highlighted in the cultural press, in particular through an article published on the site PubliKart, a cultural media recognized for its expertise in the fields of cinema, the arts and creative initiatives. This publication marks an important step for the school, confirming the growing interest it is arousing in the French audiovisual landscape.

Valuing media coverage

In its dedicated article, PubliKart goes back in detail to the creation of the AMCA, its ambitions and its unique positioning within audiovisual formations in Paris. The opening of the school in the 19th arrondissement — rue de Cambrai, near the Corentin Cariou metro station — is presented as a new impetus for training in film professions, in the heart of a district in full creative dynamism.

By focusing on our strategic location and infrastructure, PublikArt highlights the uniqueness of the AMCA educational project, designed to be as close as possible to the reality of studios and production teams.

A professional pedagogy recognized by PublikArt

The site insists in particular on the specificity of the AMCA: a school built around a teaching staff composed exclusively of working professionals. This choice, which is widely highlighted in the article, is one of the pillars of the Academy's educational project.

According to PubliKart, this direct proximity to industry allows students to acquire from the beginning of their studies a concrete understanding of the professions, working methods, and requirements of the sector.

A training structured in two cycles, praised for its coherence

PublikArt also discusses the organization of the course:

  • A core curriculum of one and a half years,
  • followed by specializations for a year and a half.
  • This format is presented by the media as a balanced and progressive approach, giving students the time they need to acquire a solid foundation before moving on to a specific career path.

The article also highlights close collaboration with partners such as Yes We Do Production, installed within the school itself. This proximity that PubliKart describes as “a major asset to allow students to immerse themselves in real projects and to learn directly about the functioning of a production company.”

PubliKart's perspective on the “American Academy” vision

The article devotes considerable space to the vision carried out by Benattou Benichou, founder and director of AMCA, and former deputy director of the CLCF. PubliKart insists on its desire to create a “small American-style academy”, focused on individualized follow-up, personal projects and the commitment of teachers in the field.

Since each director intervenes taking care of a small group of students on his own sets, PublikArt sees it as a rare, demanding and particularly formative educational model.

Encouraging recognition for the first promotion

The publication of this article on PubliKart comes while the selection of the first promotion — limited to 60 students — is in progress. The media also underlines the desire of the AMCA to focus on personalized support rather than on massification, in order to guarantee a rise in truly professional skills.

The start of the school year scheduled for mid-January 2026 is announced as the starting point of an adventure that promises to be a lasting part of the Parisian audiovisual landscape.

Conclusion

The publication of this article on PubliKart constitutes a strong signal: it validates the relevance of the AMCA project and attests to the immediate interest that the new school is arousing in specialized media. This spotlight contributes to firmly establishing AMCA as an ambitious, demanding course that is resolutely focused on the professional realities of cinema and audiovisual.

If you want to join a committed, innovative school supported by working professionals, AMCA Paris now opens its doors to you.

In other words,
The AMCA is

A team of passionate teachers.

At AMCA, we are convinced that passion is the driving force behind all sustainable learning. This is why our teaching team is made up of film and audiovisual professionals who have made the choice to pass on their knowledge with rigor, but above all with enthusiasm. Directors, cinematographers, editors, screenwriters, screenwriters, sound engineers or producers, our teachers share concrete experience in the field, enriched by years of practice. Their mission: to offer much more than technical education.

They inspire, guide and support each student in their uniqueness, to help them affirm a personal vision of cinema. Far from impersonal lectures, our workshops favour interaction, constructive criticism and ongoing dialogue. This strong human bond between teachers and students contributes to creating a dynamic and stimulating learning environment. Thanks to this proximity, each student benefits from individualized follow-up, adapted to their development and ambitions. At AMCA, you will not only learn a profession: you will discover a community of image makers, committed to the emergence of a new generation of daring filmmakers.

Premises equipped with the latest equipment.

Learning cinema today also means mastering tools that meet professional standards. This is why AMCA provides its students with an exceptional technical environment. Our premises, designed to promote creativity and collaboration, are equipped with the latest generation of audiovisual equipment. 4K digital cameras, high-end sound equipment, professional editing stations, professional editing stations, soundproof studios, calibration room, mixing room, TV control rooms: each space is designed to reproduce real shooting and post-production conditions. Whether for educational exercises or personal projects, our students have free and supervised access to these equipment throughout their training.

The objective is clear: to allow everyone to become familiar with the tools used in the industry from the first year, in order to be fully operational at the end of school. This technological immersion is reinforced by regular training in reference software (DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Pro Tools, After Effects...). At AMCA, we believe that technical mastery is inseparable from creative freedom. It is by giving yourself the right tools that you will be able to create images that look like you.

Partnerships with the big names in cinema.

The AMCA forges strong links with major cinema and audiovisual professionals and institutions, to open the doors of the real world to its students. These partnerships take multiple forms: masterclasses with recognized directors and technicians, acting workshops with established actors, writing residencies in collaboration with festivals, co-production projects with partner studios, visits to film sets... Thanks to these privileged connections, our students can enrich their learning in direct contact with those who make today's cinema.

These exchanges also offer numerous opportunities for internships, film assistants or participation in festivals. The school is thus thought of as a real springboard towards professional integration. These collaborations also feed into our educational program, which is continuously updated in line with changes in the industry. We believe that meeting the big names in the sector stimulates ambition, cultivates high standards and offers future filmmakers a wider perspective on the realities of the profession. At AMCA, you will never be alone: you will be surrounded, supported and inspired by a network in motion.

Follow-up even in the professional world.

Entering AMCA means embarking on a structuring journey, which does not end with the diploma. Our mission is to support each student beyond training, until their integration into the world of work. From the last year, we offer personalized support for professional integration: writing artistic files, preparing for calls for projects, helping to create a business or an intermittent status, networking with recruiters or producers, etc.

Numerous mechanisms are in place to facilitate this transition: pitch events, job advertising platforms, individual coaching, interview preparation modules, mentoring by former students. This follow-up is possible thanks to a strong link with our network of alumni, who are regularly asked to intervene or recruit. The world of cinema is demanding, sometimes unstable: we want each graduate to come out equipped, confident, ready to adapt. The AMCA is not only a school: it is an ecosystem that continues to support you, even once you are in active life. Because making a movie, setting up a production company or joining a film crew requires preparation. And that's what we're here for.
