Film School is an art school, which means that teaching is based on the individual student's unique language and talent.

At the same time, we attach great importance to our students learn the craft, and that, after training at the Film School can take their place in the professional film and television industry.

In the tough admission process, our students have already proven that they have the talent and the desire to make films. We see it as the school's job to give students the best opportunities through experiential learning to develop their artistic style and personality.

We want our students through their genuine talent and the school's ability to challenge and develop the student's individual film language will continue to affect the film and television industry in the direction of quality, diversity and innovation and maintain film school as a central and essential institution in Danish and international film and TV environment.

The Danish Film School's mission is to provide artistic and technical training in media productions.

These standards aim to maintain and develop the Danish media industry success and to help media people realize the power and significance it has for the democratic process in the broadest sense.
