AAFT offers best among all film schools

At the Asian Academy of Film and Television (AAFT), one of the best film schools in this part of the world, we believe that though we are the filmmakers of today, you are the filmmakers of the future. Hence, our primary mission is to do everything in our power to launch you into the filmmaking business with a profound sense of excellence, a brimming self-confidence in your abilities, and a passion for movie-making poetry.

Today, there are literally hundreds of film schools - some are little more than quick and dirty trade schools ("Learn all you need to know in 48 hours!" the ads scream) and others offer a few critical studies courses paired with a hands-on course using digital video cameras. But the best film schools of the world, like AAFT, offer a complete curriculum taught by faculty who are best in their professions. Apart from a sprawling lush green campus inside a film city in Noida, India, and an exceptional faculty, the factors which differentiate AAFT from other film schools include going to a film school which is in a film studio, opportunity for students to work in in-house production companies, back-up and support of the Indian film industry, strong research center and a film club.

Unlike most film schools, the AAFT was founded in 1992 on a singular commitment to helping today's creative young people find and bring to the screen the stories that have meaning in their lives. Therefore, AAFT has been planned as an alternative to formal film schools and it conducts short-term courses in four areas of specialisation namely production/direction & TV journalism, video editing & sound recording, camera & lighting techniques and acting & presentation.

How do AAFT students fare better than those in other film schools? Our students graduate with the knowledge they need and two key calling cards - a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of filmmaking and about 15 productions during their training session to showcase their talent. Through internships and with the assistance of our alumni and friends in the industry, many of our students have jobs lined up even before they graduate, which is something unthinkable in other film schools.
