The recently launched programs of the Dutch Filmers Academy (DFA) are breaking open the filmmaker market and aligning with society's demand for professional audiovisual productions. Millions of films are shared worldwide every minute, and organizations see the power of film as a communication tool growing daily. The new film academy responds to the market demand for entrepreneurial filmmakers who enrich the business world with their work. Creative and artistic work, but with a clear communicative purpose. By laying a strong foundation in entrepreneurship, design, and technology, DFA seamlessly aligns with this through programs at the higher professional (HBO) and secondary vocational (MBO) levels.

'The enthusiastic, full classes show that there is also sufficient interest among students for a film academy with an entrepreneurial character,' notes Paul Akkermans, director of the Fotovakschool. As an initiative of the Fotovakschool, Dutch Filmers Academy has a solid foundation with 75 years of experience in education within the creative domain.

Students at Dutch Filmers Academy get straight to work with the camera and work on projects to create a strong translation of a target-group-oriented message. Current film education focuses primarily on the artistic and creative production of films. DFA thinks from the perspective of market demand and, moreover, safeguards the bit part art of filmmaking. 'The combination of the innovative film landscape and our teaching method ensures a future full of professional filmmakers with a focus on corporate communication and commissioned film,' says Eric Goossens, manager and senior lecturer at DFA.

Future all-round filmmakers who want to start a higher professional or secondary vocational education program in February can get acquainted with the DFA, receive personal study advice, and discuss their portfolio at the open day and information evening. More info at DutchFilmersAcademy.nl.
