The National Film and Television School
website
The NFTS is unusual among film schools in being able to offer its students the experience of training in professional standard film and television studios and post-production facilities. Extensive facilities and equipment mean that students have guaranteed access to resources. A technical services team, professional electricians and carpenters/set builders are on hand to support both learning and productions.
As well as a large film stage and a workshop stage, there is a television studio, fitted with computerised lighting rig, lightweight cameras and modern pedestals and a gallery housing new generation sound, vision and lighting equipment.
Other departments have their own facilities where new technology supports the development of imaginative and innovative ideas.
