Mission & Strategy
ESRA is a French Film School, created in 1972. It is the only private school entitled by the French government to issue and deliver a Bachelor (Bac+3) and a Master (Bac+5) State Degree.
ESRA alumni include over 6,000 active professionals in the film industry. ESRA alumni work in the fields of cinema, television, music, sound engineering and animation film.
Based in Paris, ESRA also has campuses in Nice and Cannes, on the French Riviera, since 1988, and in Rennes since 1999 and in Brussels since 2015.
Each campus includes a Film/Television department (ESRA), a Sound Engineering department (ISTS) and an Animation Film department (ESRA 3D).
Those three year bachelor programs allow students to learn all the aspects of each of their fields before choosing a major in third year.
