[edit] Curriculum

The project-oriented curriculum triggers learning by doing during all the different stages of a film and television production. More than 300 highly qualified experts from the film and media business instruct the students and take care of their projects.

About 250 films of all genres and formats with top rankings on international festivals are being produced every year by teams of students enrolled in scriptwriting, directing, cinematography, editing, animation, series, film production, film music, sound design and production design.

Recent proof of the Film Academy's philosophy of teaching are the Golden Leopard awarded to "Das Verlangen/The Longing" at the Locarno International Film Festival (2002), an Oscar nomination for "Das Rad/Rocks" in the category "Best Animated Short Film" (2003), the Student Oscar at the Student Academy Awards for "Nimmermeer/Nevermore" in the category "Best Foreign Film" (2007).
