Paradise for budding filmmakers

Prague Film School has to be one of the finest places to learn Filmmaking. The best part of the course schedule is that it's primarily hands-on and practical. The best way to learn filmmaking is to go and shoot and learn from mistakes, and there is no better way to do that than under the guidance of learned teachers that Prague Film School has. The staff is brilliant and cooperative. Prague is beautiful. I had the best times there and highly recommend it to anyone who loves filmmaking.

Best Filmmaking Programme

Would recommend to anyone interested in filmmaking. Had the best time with the best teachers and staff and batchmates. Everyone at PFS is always ready to help and solve all your doubts. I have had the best time of my life learning here and I would learn filmmaking here again if I had the chance to. All the faculty here is always ready to guide you and make sure that you are doing what you have set out to do, i.e., make a film. You get access to all the equipment you need to make your own film. You will also find some of the most creative minds at school as your classmates and in general it is a great environment to learn filmmaking as well as to grow as a filmmaker.

The Best Film School in Europe

It was a tough decision to make what Film school should be chosen!
I chose Prague Film School, and never thought I made a wrong decision!
The facilities they provide are not even available at the best Film schools around Prague. Very friendly environment and access to advanced technology, equipment and resources for producing a film.
I was surely confident being good at Cinematography, but also explored screenwriting and direction.
I got a chance to write and direct 5short films and shoot atleast 15 around the course!
The professors are experts in their field and they surely motivate you to make the best films.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Writing a script!

The feedbacks from the teachers helped to refine and understand how to make a story real!

Prague film school makes you a complete Filmmaker

Pfs pushes you to explore and learn all the fundamentals that are crucial to make films. Every student goes through the technical and creative training of all departments of filmmaking, irrespective of their choice of field. Right from script writing to directing and then shooting and editing and most importantly even learning how to do sound, is done in the first year of school which makes every student know and understand the value and importance of every department. The hands on experience of being on set is the USP of this school.

Professional Filmmaking in Magnificent City

Prague Film School offers an incredible experience to flourish as a filmmaker in the most beautiful city I've ever been. The school develops your skills by making it easy to get on many sets (I crewed on ~35 sets and directed 4 films during my semester). The professors review your projects with strong artistic criticism. Their style is direct and picks apart every detail of every film, but this approach shows rewards as every filmmaker creates better films every times they make a new one. The city is tourist friendly, with English everywhere and affordable and quality social bars, history, and nightclubs at every corner. Great for anyone looking to level up their films and enjoy a fun city.
