About the Program

In the film department, students learn the complete workflow of a (feature) film production. The goal and task is for each student to create his or her own personal short fiction film. In the winter semester the basics of dramaturgy will be learned. On the basis of this knowledge, successful and current cinema productions are analysed and criticised. With the help of creative techniques, the writing of a film script begins, from the idea to the final draft, which is implemented as a student research project. At the same time the work with the camera and the light is deepened and practiced. In the summer semester the film is produced on the basis of the script. The work and tasks as a director and producer will be learned and discussed and solution scenarios developed on the basis of the problems that arise during production. This serves as preparation for professional life and is based on the didactic concept of problem-oriented learning.
