Budapest Film Academy

Practical Film Courses

BUDAPEST FILM ACADEMY (BFA) and EÖTVÖS LORÁND UNIVERSITY (ELTE) have joined forces offering practical film studies to students who aspire to become industry professionals. This partnership provides students with high quality, comprehensive filmmaking training.

Budapest Film Academy film courses can be claimed as practical courses towards ELTE – BA / ELTE – MA filmmaking degrees.

The collaboration between Budapest Film Academy and Eötvös Loránd University became very successful, semester by semester more and more Hungarian and international students sign up and study at BFA’s practical program.

In 2016 Budapest Film Academy became the European partner of one of the best US film universities, LOYOLA MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY (LMU). Since then, US students join regularly the film academy’s study abroad program. They are accompanied with a writer/professor from LMU who teaches screenwriting courses at the Budapest Film Academy.

Budapest Film Academy has designed a curriculum from practical film courses and provides extensive cross platform education training in all the major fields of filmmaking. In these varied courses, students receive a theoretical and a hands-on education at the same time. They obtain practical skills in screenwriting, cinematography, directing, creative producing, editing, sound recording, and more. Students wrote, produced, directed and shot short films which so far won several prestigious international film festival awards.

The courses of the BUDAPEST FILM ACADEMY are held at the ELTE-BTK campus, and some of the practical portion is taught in a professional environment, at the Hungarian film industry’s most modern production and post-production houses.

Budapest Film Academy also provides study abroad courses for LOYOLA MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY (LMU). With this collaboration, American students and teachers come to Budapest and make our program even more international. We are looking forward to continue and grow our relationship with LMU.
