Year 1

The Freshman Year introduces students to the fundamentals of filmmaking. Academic knowledge, like artistic culture and film language, integrates practical skills, providing a balanced foundation for creative practice.

2nd Year

The goal of the second year is to acquire the artistic knowledge and skills essential for film production. Through practical exercises, students quickly master filmmaking techniques and language by producing both individual and collaborative films.

The director has one of the most important roles in the production of a movie, a series. He must wear several hats: manager, creator, supervision, he is a real conductor!

Being a director requires creativity, organizational skills, leadership and the ability to work under pressure. At the head of a large team, he must successfully complete an ambitious project within a limited time and a controlled budget.
