Overview
Films and television presentations are powerful means of mass communication because they simultaneously influence two of our senses i.e. seeing and hearing. They delight the mind and provide relaxation to the tired and tense nerves through entertainment. Films and television presentations fascinate almost everyone.
They are the most popular pastime for the majority of the people. The fact remains that films and television programmes are made by a group of professionals for an unknown audience. The magic of the moving pictures on the screen is created by their makers and, therefore, education and training of film and television producers is very important.Very large number of people work in the film and television industries and a large amount of money is being invested in the entertainment business eversince the cinema has been granted the status of an industry.
At Asian Academy of Film & TV, we believe that a film and television producer should be in a position to write shoot and edit his own show. The academy will therefore, provide the students with necessary theoretical instruction, practical skills and an opportunity to make entertainment products following the industry practices. A well rounded maker of entertainment products has to visualize his screen presentation with moving pictures and therefore, he must learn the creative use of the camera and the lights; he has to piece together the moving picture and therefore, he must be conversant with the art and craft of editing, he has to create a character out of the performer and therefore, he must be familiar with the process of action; he has to learn how to write for the screen, directing and producing screen presentation with proper understanding.
The trainers of Asian Academy of Film & TV who are specialist practitioners from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, will help the students of one year Post Graduate Diploma in Film & TV Production to develop various skills through practical classes and production projects beside imparting intensive theoretical instructions. This one year session has been divided into three phases - the orientation phase, working skills development phase and the production projects phase.

AAFT (Asian Academy of Film & Television)
We have always believed that a film school should take a holistic and realistic approach in its teaching. By holistic we mean that film school training should not be limited to only classrooms and lectures on theories and techniques. Therefore, at AAFT we have adopted a comprehensive training method with equal importance on the practical training of film making and acting.
Believing that training and skill building are quite essential in the field of visual media, Asian Academy of Film & TV, has been imparting education and training in the art & craft of film making in television presentation since 1993.
The academy was planned as an alternative to formal film schools and has since come a long way making a unique place for itself amongst the best global centers of education of its kind. Growing to be certified as the first ISO 9001:2000 film school in this part of the world in less than a decade since its inception, the Academy was also approved as an international level training center by the 125 year old City & Guilds of the United Kingdom in the year 2002.
Students with varied background, experience and culture are selected for admission to the academy for their talent and enthusiasm. Although students spend most of their time on the projects, the education and training imparted at AAFT is more than just a craft model.
Education and training for various courses are provided by expert media practitioners supplemented by visiting guest lecturers who are leading exponents of their specialized skills in the practical craft of film & television production.
The Academy has also done pioneering work of generating training a world class material in the form of books and video recordings on the various techniques of film and television production both for the benefit of its students and the practicing film and television professionals. The Documentation Center of the academy has produced a number of books on the art & screen presentation.
The academy is affiliated to the International Film & Television Research Center which aims at raising professional standards of films and television presentations. Film and Television personalities from all over the world are often the guest of the Research Center. AAFT is also affiliated to International Film & Television club.
Festivals of Israel, Japanese, Croatian, Norwegian and Russian films have already been organized by the Club in the past. Students of the academy greatly benefit from the activities of both these organizations.
