Welcome to the London Film School

Since 1956 the school has trained thousands of directors, cinematographers, editors and other film professionals now working across the globe. It is the most truly international school anywhere, with 70% of its students from outside Britain. This diversity fits very well in the melting pot of London.

The London Film School is proud to be a Skillset Film Academy, one of only two graduate schools recognised by the UK film industry training body as a Centre for Excellence

Ben Gibson - LFS Director

We teach through filmmaking, on stages, and in workshops rather than in classrooms -- the building functions like a studio. LFS is a living creative community -- not a short term 'immersion experience' or a commercial training product. It's a very independent non-profit school run by passionate and experienced filmmakers -- 18 full-time faculty and a varied and hugely talented group of visiting lecturers, technicians and artists.

This website gives information about our MA programmes in Filmmaking, Screenwriting and Film Curating, as well as our expanding range of professional development courses. And it can tell you about life at LFS. But choosing a film school is a big decision. You may want to visit us or talk to a student or a graduate. Please contact us and we'll answer your questions and put you in touch.

Ben Gibson,
Director.
