Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg

Founded in 1991, the Filmakademie is today one of the most renowned international film schools. The project-oriented curriculum triggers learning by doing during all the stages of a film and television production. More than 400 experts from the film and media business instruct the students and take care of their projects.

About 250 films of all genres and formats are produced every year by teams of students enrolled in scriptwriting, directing (documentary film, feature film, advertising film, educational and scientific film), cinematograhpy, editing, animation, series formats, interactive media, production, film music/sound design, and production design.

Proof of the Filmakademie's successful philosophy of teaching are Student Oscars awarded to the films “Rochade” (1998) and “Nimmermeer / Nevermore” (2007), a Golden Leopard for “Das Verlangen / The Longing” at the International Film Festival Locarno (2002), an Oscar nomination for “Das Rad / Rocks” in the category “Best Animated Short Film” (2003), and many more awards at film festivals throughout the world.

In 2000, the Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris was introduced. During this one-year training programme, 18 European graduates from film schools or colleges with sufficient practical experience will gain comprehensive insight into financing, production, and distribution. They acquire the skills to initiate co-productions and to distribute their films in the European film market.
