As the national screen and broadcast school, AFTRS trains the talent that creates these stories.

5000+ awards and selections for student films at the world's most prestigious festivals, including Cannes, Venice, Berlin and Sundance

Our alumni and staff have won a slate of Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Emmys, BAFTAs, AACTAs and Commercial Radio Awards
