History

Prague Film School was founded to provide international students with an alternative to more expensive film programs in the United States and more theory-driven film academies in Europe, with the idea of offering one-year training courses to aspiring filmmakers. Originally a narrative film course, Prague Film School expanded in 2000, introducing documentary and acting for film programs in later years and both longer and shorter courses. Today the school accepts approximately 200 students per year.

For two consecutive years, The Hollywood Reporter listed Prague Film School among the 15 best international film schools in its printed issue dated August 9, 2023. [1]

Prague Film School is unaffiliated with FAMU.
