The Feature Film Programme is uniquely designed for individuals who wish to undergo a highly vocational and industry focused training and education as contemporary filmmakers. In 8 months you will shoot a feature film, as far as we are aware it is one of the only courses of it’s kind in the world.

This professional programme is designed for individuals with passion, creativity, determination and a real commitment to gaining a lasting career as a storyteller in film. It provides you with a very unique opportunity to gain first hand experience of what it takes to make a feature film. For the next eight months you will form part of a small tight knit production team with one shared goal; to craft a poignant and moving feature film. Industry experts will be working with you, encouraging and guiding a small group of passionate and specially selected students to make a film to take to festivals. The film will be shot on location in and around the stunning cities of Barcelona and Sitges, working both outdoors and with controlled light conditions indoors. You will be part of an international team that is taken on a journey through the art of Directing / Producing / Cinematography / Screenwriting / Production Design / Editing and Sound. Afilm works with professional acting agencies, hair, makeup & prop companies.

This programme is totally unique and provides you with the opportunity to learn all the stages of ­filmmaking through doing. Students will undertake a substantial number of practical, creative and technical workshops in groups or sub-groups and will then be asked to put their knowledge into practice. The course is fast, intensive and absorbing. Our key goal is to give students the tools, the mindset and the support they need to make it in the real world. By the end of the programme students will have evolved professionally, worked with industry leaders, have a feature fi­lm experience, a career plan and a showreel of their work, as well as a feature ­lm which will be taken to fi­lm festivals. This is a distinctive feature of A­film programmes.

Graduates will have all the key skills required for accessing and working within the ­film industry. As an a­lm graduate, you will be in a unique position to have worked on a real feature fi­lm. You will also be coached with commercial and networking skills to go out and ­find work and create your own ­film projects.

At the end of the course, students are invited to share a project they are passionate about making related to the industry. Through a selection process, a­film lecturers will then offer a mentorship programme to support the fruition of selected projects.

Thanks to the intense working experience students form close friendship bonds and we have a thriving professional alumni network. So many of our ex students are running successful businesses and making waves in the fi­lm industry. Check out what alumni are working on.

Some of our best students have gone on on to work alongside us at Afi­lm Studio, the afilm production company, a sister entity where we produce, direct and create fi­lms for industry clients. See more
