London Film School (LFS) has been listed for a consecutive year in rThe Hollywood Reporte’s ‘Top International Film Schools’ list for 2021.
This is the fourth time London Film School has featured on the prestigious annual list. We are one of only two UK film schools to have been selected, casting a brilliant light on the quality of our teaching staff and alumni successes from three intensive MA programmes: Filmmaking, Screenwriting and International Film Business.
Gisli Snaer, director of London Film School, said: “I am delighted that LFS is once again featured by The Hollywood Reporter as a world-leading film school. Despite the challenges all of us continue to face during the pandemic, our community presses on with film education at home and abroad, creating films recognised by the industry on the film festival circuit. This is a huge nod to our dedicated teaching staff, the enthusiasm and commitment of our students. I’m proud of the film education community we continue to build, year in, year out, since 1958 here in London.”
