What others say about LFA

     
LFA is a much needed addition to training for an industry that needs all the talent and skills it can get.
  Lord Puttnam  
     
No short cuts from the LFA. All films we receive are well documented and of a very high standard, certainly a Film School we are proud to be associated with.
  Len Thornton, Soho Images  
     
The LFA gives students an excellent opportunity to develop professional level skills in cinematography and camerawork
  John Ward, DOP/ cam op (Final Cut), Steadicam Operator (Full Metal Jacket)  
     
LFA needs an award because I have never seen such a student programme. In fact I don't like to call it a student programme. It's so full of original and imaginative work, it is like a production company of its own…truly, I have never seen such a programme of terrific movies.
  Nicolas Roeg (Don't Look Now, Walkabout) LFA graduation screenings 2004  
     
The LFA provides students with a solid grounding in all areas of film-making. Whichever discipline you end up working in, an appreciation of the workings of each department is crucial to be successful in any film role.
  Stewart Le Marechal, APT Films, Associate Producer on Wondrous Oblivion  
     
The LFA is properly outgoing and dynamic in its approach to cinema as art and craft.
 
Nick James, Editor
Sight & Sound
 
     
The thing that immediately smacks you in the face as soon as you walk through its once hallowed doors is a tangible sense of creativity and positivity.
  Nicci Tucker
Freelance Journalist
 
     
It's undoubtedly a slick operation, filled with an infectious energy. It is almost as if, while other film schools churn out graduating class after graduating class with bored ease this youthful establishment is still excited to be home to movie makers, not yet cynical about the harsh world it is preparing its children for.

What students need is confidence and a strong basic knowledge.  No one was ever hired in the film industry on the basis of a paper qualification.  Getting on is a mater of contacts and skills and this is what we intend to provide.

Collaboration is crucial to filmmaking, and in keeping with this, one of the key criteria applied when selecting people for the diploma was their likely capacity for teamwork.

My year at LFA was a fantastic investment. I have become a multi-skilled filmmaker and I can make informed and well-grounded decisions during the whole production.

I have to issue a health warning for both the certificate and diploma courses, because you will really need to put everything else in your life on hold. Filmmaking is one of the most team-intensive industries around.

Whatever field you end up working in in the movie business, an appreciation of the nuts and bolts of how they are organised and run is crucial to any role. Students will learn that an appreciation of all the key roles in filmmaking will eventually inform them at a much higher level in the discipline they eventually pursue as a career.

While Academy work placements may help students get jobs, nothing in what is still basically a cottage industry is guaranteed, and students will still find that serendipity plays its traditional role. However, LFA graduates will be better prepared to seize the opportunities when they arise, ahead of those with theoretical knowledge but no practical experience
