Overview

Classes are taught by a faculty of professional filmmakers and artists who are skilled in up-to-the-minute filmmaking practices and provide instruction on state-of-the art equipment and software. At 3iS, we place emphasis on hands-on learning and are one of the few schools where students start making films right away from their first semester.

The first year of the Film and TV program at 3is-International Institute for Image and Sound is a foundation year. The students acquire the basic concepts, methods and skills of television and film production in preparation for the intermediate and advanced training they will receive in the following years.

The second year is all about skills. It’s not what you know that counts, it’s what you can do well. The curriculum is transversal, developing key competences in all major areas of the industry. Students also choose one of three majors: cinematography, editing or production.
