Location of Tallinn University
A uniquely designed 1+1 year course, divided into an initial year of taught classes on the principal film-making professions, and a second year dedicated to the completion of final examination films.
During the first year, students are supervised individually and in teams by tutors in a hands-on learning process. In the second year, students develop their examination works, from choosing their own shooting locations through to post-production.
Applicants are expected to have sufficient prior skills and knowledge of film-making to allow them to focus on practical film-making from week one under the supervision of internationally acknowledged professionals.
All student films are developed, shot and post-produced in teams, closely mirroring a realistic industry work process in order to ease graduates’ transitions to the professional environment and the launch of their careers.
