The International Film School Sydney (IFSS) in Sydney’s inner city is where students come to craft daring cinema. Since 2005 the school has trained hundreds of directors, screenwriters, producers, editors and other film professionals. Run by experienced and passionate filmmakers, the school aims to transform aspiring filmmakers into fearless cinematic artists with dynamic storytelling skills, technical expertise and a distinctive creative voice.
IFSS believes that to be a successful writer, director, editor, cinematographer or producer you must first be immersed in all these disciplines. In its two year Advanced Diploma of Screen and Media Studies students will screenwrite, direct and produce up to 6 of their own short films and work as a crew member on up to 24 of their classmates films. You learn by doing!
Applications for the February 2013 intake are now open. Students can choose to focus their studies on Screenwriting, Directing and Producing OR Cinematography (new to IFSS in 2013!).

IFSS is passionate about teaching people how to make great short films.
