CHAPTER 46
MAJOR NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL FILM AND VIDEO SCHOOLS
There is no special accreditation for film schools and none even for teachers. So It's caveat emptor, as warned in Chapter 45. The schools listed in this chapter are affiliated with professional bodies, but you should use all your research powers to determine a school's reputation and what you can expect to get from its education.
The first list is schools affiliated with the University Film and Video Association (UFVA), an up-to-date version of which can be seen on the Internet via www.ufva.org/ under “About UFVA.” A way to find out more is to look at the UFVA Job Listings, which often describe the facilities at an institution seeking teachers.
Another way to check reputations is the Web site www.filmmaker.com, which includes some lengthy and often sulphurous film school reviews. These are by students, and you should read them gingerly for tendencies and peripheral information, generally discounting anything written by those who can't spell or punctuate. Being free and anonymous, it is a great place for malcontents to unload spleen, but common denominators among the reviews may help you avoid a costly mistake. Avoid trade schools and anything that offers to give you the complete, no-nonsense lowdown in a weekend. Film school is like medical school. It takes several years of hard learning to come out with something useful.
UFVA-AFFILIATED FILM SCHOOLS
These mainly North American schools will have Web sites you can find by entering the school name in an Internet search engine. Their facilities and expertise will vary hugely.
SCHOOLS AFFILIATED WITH THE INTERNATIONAL FILM SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION
This list of schools affiliated with the international film schools association, Centre Internationale de Liaison des Ecoles de Cinéma et de Télélvision (CILECT) can be found in its latest version on CILECT's Web site (www.cilect.org/), organized by country. Clicking on a film school either gives you a form that lists standard information or links you directly to the school's own Web site. The + sign before a phone or fax number indicates the overseas telephone code that you must first dial in your own country to make any international call. The numbers that follow are the country code, the area or city code, and finally the school's phone number.
