Program description
In order to effectively manage the complex and ever-changing nature of the creative process, the Film Design and Directing Department was developed.
At each stage, we recognize the significance of both theory and practice. Our instructors have extensive expertise with events, festivals, contests, symposia, and seminars, and they also have extensive experience as filmmakers. Our mission is to equip students with the cinematic knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for professional success. The program is also intended to address societal and cultural needs by collecting and documenting Cyprus's rich cultural legacy and reimagining it in works of art that reflect ethical and aesthetic values.
