National Film & Television School, known simply as ‘the School’, is a world leader in post-graduate film education and plays a rich role in the UK and abroad. NFTS’s calculated genesis began with a government recommendation to establish a national film school tailored to the goals of the country’s swinging film industry in the 1960’s. But history accounts for only a small fraction of what makes the School a venerable institution today. In the years since its inception, its distinguished faculty and alumni have garnered international praise for their work worldwide while students continue to collect a host of awards for their own work.
