Storytelling and the ability to work in a team – this is the focus of the film studies program at the ifs. The Bachelor’s program Film concentrates on teaching artistic, scientific and technical basics for professional filmmaking. In teaching, students learn what film is all about: an understanding of subject matter, dramaturgy, artistic design and production strategies. In the development of ideas and material for screenplays as well as in the realization of film projects, the acquired knowledge and skills find their creative application – in interdisciplinary teamwork.

The Bachelor’s Program Film offers the following specializations: Screenwriting, Film Directing, Creative Producing, Director of Photography, Editing Picture & Sound, VFX & Animation, or Production Design.

In the course of their studies, the cinematic narratives and media implementations become increasingly complex and challenging, thus enabling the students to gradually gain expertise in their specialization. Among other aspects, the program is also designed to foster the students’ personal
development and help them find their individual artistic style and voice.
