Department of Film & Television at National College of Arts has become the most renowned film school of Pakistan.
The Department of Film and Television at the National College of Arts, Lahore has made considerable strides since its inception in 2005. Over the past decade and a half, we as an institution have honed our craft and expanded our horizons as we continue to educate successive batches in the art of filmmaking from both a traditional and modern perspective. With the aid of our qualified faculty and the progressive technological advancement of our technical equipment, we are able to properly prepare our students for a global, contemporary filmmaking landscape.
In addition to the immortal art of storytelling and an in-depth look into the theoretical aspect of film, the Department of Film and Television also trains its students in vocational crafts- such as camera-work, non-linear editing, visual effects, sound design and so much more. In prioritising creative expression, the Department has, since its foundation, stemmed into more contemporary forms of media- with modules in Video Art and Experimental Cinema. All the while still offering courses for those that wish to enter the practical world of media through modules in Television Commercial Direction and Music Video Production.
With proud alumni working on everything from Pakistan’s latest cinematic features to the advertisements on your televisions; from the film festivals to music videos on your phone screen, the department has come a long way and intends to continue altering the landscape of modern Pakistani cinema.
