BUDAPEST FILM ACADEMY is committed both to developing individual talent and to preparing students to enter their chosen profession. We do not expect our students to have a great body of knowledge before they start with their education in our Academy. Instead, we would like them to reinvent the art of filmmaking, find their own voice, adapt to the changing world, embrace the new technologies and show us their own way to move forward. We are indebted to the past, but we are about the new.

To help students achieve their unique potential, a great deal of emphasis is placed on the practice of the critique. We encourage with our comments and hope that they take from our feedback as much as they agree with. Ultimately, the young filmmakers are responsible for their work, they are the ones who will move forward with their scripts, create their movies. Also, they are the ones who will receive the applause and success, our job is to hold a mirror and by that help the individual students to see their work from the audience’s point of view.
