The Film School's educational philosophy can be summarized in the insoluble connection between practice and theory, and the equal status of its eight 'directions': (a) film-direction, (b) film-production, (c) film-writing, (d) cinematography, (e) editing, (f) sound-design and music for film, (g) sets and costumes, and (h) film history and film theory. The School aims to promote the art of filmmaking, within the framework of broad audiovisual education, through applied research and teaching activities. Moreover, it aims to provide students with advanced knowledge in the main subjects taught in the programme, and with theoretical and practical training directly related to their main field of study, qualifying them for employment in the public and private sector. The School offers students the theoretical and critical tools necessary for research at a more advanced level, as well as the possibility to continue their studies in the School at a doctoral level.
