About the Program

The Film and Television program teaches students in the subjects of feature film, screenwriting, documentary film, camera work, creative production, and television-specific forms. These areas are not isolated from each other and can be combined, allowing each student to pursue their individual interests and experiment in various film fields. The program includes theoretical, foundational, and practical seminars that are integrated with student projects in the main study period. After the preliminary diploma (Vordiplom), each student must complete two projects and a diploma project. Projects can be short feature or documentary films, directing exercises, screenplays, camera work on fellow students' films, extensive research for documentaries, or concepts for television programs. The range of diploma projects includes feature films, documentaries, screenplays for cinema films and TV series, camera work, and entertainment show concepts.
