We have always believed that a film school should take a holistic and realistic approach in its teaching. By holistic we mean that film school training should not be limited to only classrooms and lectures on theories and techniques. Therefore, at AAFT we have adopted a comprehensive training method with equal importance on the practical training of film making and acting.
Believing that training and skill building are
quite essential in the field of visual media,
Asian Academy of Film & TV, has been imparting
education and training in the art & craft
of film making in television presentation since
1993.
The academy was planned as an alternative to formal
film schools and has since come a long way making
a unique place for itself amongst the best global
centers of education of its kind. Growing to be
certified as the first ISO 9001:2000 film school
in this part of the world in less than a decade
since its inception, the Academy was also approved
as an international level training center by the
125 year old City & Guilds of the United Kingdom
in the year 2002.
