International School of Film & Media (ISFM), founded by the legendary Akkineni family, is launching the country’s first 'worldclass' six month programme in editing and cinematography. Batches will commence in March.
The 22-acre ISFM is India’s only privately-managed nonprofit film and media school.

In the cinematography course, the students get all the camera practice they need, moving from DSLRs to professional video cameras, HD and film cameras. Students will learn how to create the image they want, through light, lenses and movement, rather than simply recording what is in front of them.

ISFM also approaches editing from a different perspective. 'The person who knows how to work an avid machine might make 15,000-20,000 per month. The person who makes the artistic decisions on where to place the cuts, can make many times that amount,' according to Chris Higgins, VP Marketing.

Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam, Nagarjuna, Prakash Raj, Hema Malini, Tabu and Anushka are on the advisory board of this film school. Accommodation options available for national and international students.
