icelandic film school

Since its beginning the film school has operated in close cooperation with filmmakers’ interest groups, production companies and TV channels. In fact, the school and the TV channels have collaborated on a number of different projects. The school has also collaborated with numerous educational institutions on many courses over the years. The school has been fortunate that filmmakers and educators have offered their talents as teachers. More than two hundred instructors and lecturers, both Icelandic and foreign, have taught at the school. Most of them are active in one or another aspects of filmmaking. The school has graduated hundreds of students from various departments. These graduates are now employed in various places in the Icelandic film and television industry and have exerted considerable influence there. Employees of the school have been quite mobile, which is the nature of the industry. The faculty and staff are working filmmakers who share their time between the school and their projects.
