Review

I had a fantastic experience studying at Prague Film School! The course was incredibly practical, giving us lots of freedom to express ourselves and refine our skills. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. PFS quickly became a significant part of my lifestyle. I spent a lot of time there, and even when away, I was preparing for projects with my group. This close-knit environment fostered a true sense of community and helped me connect with others who share my passion for filmmaking.

I was very happy with my experience at Prague Film School and would like to express my gratitude for the opportunity and the support I received as a refugee. The school provided a welcoming environment, and I felt very well-treated throughout my time there.

One suggestion for improvement would be to have a consistent directing teacher in the second-year program. A mentor who guides students through their projects from start to finish from a directing standpoint would be invaluable. Additionally, a workshop on how directors can effectively communicate with the Director of Photography to better serve the movie would be beneficial.

I felt that we had more than enough classes on directing actors, and it might have been more useful to spend one of those weeks on sound design instead. During my studies, we had a guest teacher, Petar Mrdjen, whose classes were extremely helpful. It would have been great to have more sessions with him.

Overall, I was very pleased with my experience at Prague Film School. I learned a lot and met many wonderful people. Thank you!
