India's first film academy with ISO 9001 certification

The Asian Academy of Film and Television (AAFT), the first film academy to get an ISO 9001 certification in this part of the world, was founded in 1992 to offer aspiring film makers and actors the opportunity to hone their story telling craft and get a start in the industry. Our film academy has been planned as an alternative to formal film schools and it conducts short term courses in four areas of specialisation - production/direction & TV journalism, video editing & sound recording, camera & lighting techniques and acting & presentation. E-mail us to know about the courses.

Over the years the film academy has developed a well-rounded curriculum, embracing the entire spectrum of filmmaking, including production, teaching and research. Well-trained faculty members, comprehensive and disciplined teaching methods and state-of-the-art equipment have made our film academy the country's leading institution for training talented people, especially in the fields of cinematographic production, management and theoretical research.

Although the basis of the film academy, covering nearly 100 acres at Noida in India, is regular short-term courses on all aspects of filmmaking, there are also programmes of adult education offered in various forms - Bachelors' and Masters' degrees in cinema, media studies and mass communication. These facilities at the film academy offer scholars from both home and abroad every convenience for teaching, creation and research. One of the advantages of our film academy is its outstanding faculty who shoulder the task of training cinema professionals in everything they need to know about their craft and in the most advanced techniques in the industry for the 21st century.

The AAFT is now internationally known and it attracts students from various Asian, African and European countries as well as the USA government departments too depute their staff for need-based training to this film academy. While the film academy has trained four officials of the Government of Bhutan in May 2001, it also had the privilege of training few members of the staff of the Lok Sabha in the recent past.
