MESSAGE FROM THE JOINT PRINCIPALS Our training is constructive, hands on and of the highest standard, emulating the hard- working reality of the film & TV industry. Our courses are delivered within a professional environment by practising filmmakers and supported by the dedicated LFA Team. We treat students with respect as we impart an up-to-date education, which boosts confidence and develops the relevant skills needed for their career progression. Our multi-disciplinary approach, in which students learn about all the different aspects of filmmaking, not only engenders an appreciation of their peers’ roles but also allows students to become informed and responsible filmmakers. Throughout our first decade we have listened to the feedback from industry insiders as well as our graduates and developed a slate of courses that meet the expectations of the ever- changing and fast-paced film & TV industry. Our courses address a diverse range of techniques and creative skills across the key filmmaking disciplines: producing, scriptwriting, directing, cinematography, editing and post-production. In addition, visiting guest speakers hold masterclasses and add to the students’ understanding of on-the-job practices. Our students and their achievements, both while they are with us and when they leave us, are what make us successful. Our graduates are now working in the film & TV industry and their films are shown at film festivals and broadcast across the world. Students have also been nominated for and won several awards. LFA’s recent student film trailers, short films and behind-the-scenes clips are available at www.youtube.com/londonfilmacademy You are welcome to sign up for updates on our news and events at londonfilmacademy.com. We look forward to working with you.
