Mission & Strategy
The answers to the following questions, which students develop throughout their studies, serve to cultivate their personal voice through projects and films they create. Once the studies have ended, these questions remain at the core of our graduates’ being as filmmakers.
Is the film you wish to make relevant?
Is it original?
Has its story been told?
Are you the only one who can tell the story?
Do you have an obligation to tell it?
Is it relevant to your own inner world and to your personal taste?
Is it relevant to your audience?
To which audience?
With what artistic means will you reach this audience?
Will its meaning traverse countries and cultures?
