OUR FILMMAKING COURSES

Discover your passion for filmmaking with the comprehensive one-year course offered by ADFA. Over the duration of twelve months, immerse yourself in the diverse facets of cinema. The first three months serve as a foundation period, during which students gain an in-depth understanding of all aspects of filmmaking, from scriptwriting to post-production techniques.
Following this foundational phase, students have the opportunity to specialize in their preferred stream for the subsequent three months. Whether it's directing, cinematography, editing, or any other aspect of filmmaking, students can tailor their learning experience to match their interests and aspirations.
The culmination of the program involves a six-month internship with ADFA and Padma Siddhi Films, providing invaluable on-set experience.
