Welcome to Central Film School

We are delighted to welcome you to Central Film School. Whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned film enthusiast, we are thrilled to have you as part of our filmmaking community.

In this Student Handbook, you will find valuable information about the courses you will be taking, the resources available to you, and the policies and procedures that govern our programmes. We hope that this handbook will serve as a useful guide throughout your time with us.

Film is a powerful medium that can entertain, inspire, challenge, and most importantly for you, be the vehicle to tell your story. As a student on one of our courses, you will have the opportunity to explore the rich history and diverse cultures of cinema, as well as develop your own critical and creative skills to tell your unique story through film.

Our programmes offer modules in various aspects of film production, screenwriting and acting. These will provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to craft compelling stories and bring them to life on screen. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to supporting your academic and personal growth in all areas of film production.

We encourage you to take advantage of the many resources available to you, including our fully equipped studio and screening theatre, edit suite and post-production zone. CFS is also proud to have an on-site motion capture and Virtual Production stage, alongside a new animation booth. Whether you are interested in writing, directing, producing, or acting, CFS has something to offer you.

We believe that the study of film is not only a fascinating and rewarding pursuit in itself, but also a valuable preparation for a wide range of careers in the arts, media, and entertainment industries. We look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals in film studies, screenwriting, and acting.

Once again, welcome to our community, and we wish you a successful and fulfilling journey into filmmaking.
