Central Film School

A Practical Education in Filmmaking

The Central Film School offers students a practical education in fictional narrative and documentary filmmaking. We aim to give independent voices the skills and knowledge needed to tell their stories through film. We train filmmakers and screenwriters to work in the industry as soon as they graduate, both in the UK and internationally.

Founded in 2008, Central Film School has provided students from all over the world with the tools needed to become professionals in the film industry.

Through our BA (Hons), MA and Short Courses, we give students a grounding in all aspects of filmmaking, including both fiction and factual disciplines. Our approach is practical, aided by our small class sizes, student-centred approach to teaching & learning, and the school’s ethos and community atmosphere. The school constantly develops its programmes, equipment and methodology to ensure students are familiar with the most up-to-date professional practices.
