Learn from experienced Filmmakers

At AIE's Film School you can learn filmmaking from filmmakers, by making films. Our trainers are industry practitioners that will instruct you in the exciting practice of filmmaking. Our philosophy is simple - learn by doing.

Each year students produce a series of short films. We focus on the practical aspects of filmmaking as well as the art of collaboration from making films. We replicate the real world industry and operate like a production house. Students generate original ideas, develop and pitch their projects, crews are formed and projects are realised from pre-production to shoot to post-production.

It's a fun, vibrant, hard working environment where students can pursue projects they are inspired by. We make dramas and comedies, documentaries, music videos, experimental art pieces as well as genres like fantasy, sci-fi and horror.

"I will never forget the amazing time and valuable experience AIE have given me. They really helped me shine, to be more than who I thought I was."
