For the next eight months students of the Introduction to Filmmaking course form a tight-knit group of like-minded artists all working towards discovering their voices as visual storytellers. A group of working filmmakers will guide, encouraging and leading a small group of passionate and specially selected students dedicated to professionally crafting stories about the human condition. Come and be part of an international team that is taken on a journey writing, directing, and editing three short films each, while crewing on all other afilm productions, all gaining experience and confidence with all the tools of our trade.
The Introduction to Filmmaking programme sets students on a quest to develop their career toward their dream, providing them with the opportunity to learn all the stages of filmmaking through doing. Students crew on a wide variety of projects, including a feature film, create a showreel and develop a career plan. The course is fast, intensive and absorbing. Our key goal is to give students the tools, the mindset and the support they need to launch their careers in filmmaking. By the end of the programme students will have evolved artistically and professionally, worked with industry leaders, have real-life on-set experience, a career plan and a showreel of their work, as well as three short films which will be taken to film festivals. These are distinctive features of Afilm programmes.
