At the renowned AFI Conservatory, a dedicated group of working professionals from the film and television industries serves as mentors in a hands-on, production-based environment nurturing the talents of tomorrow’s storytellers.
With an emphasis on narrative visual storytelling and personal expression, AFI fellows collaborate on and produce more films than any other graduate level film program.
Established in 1969, the two-year Master of Fine Arts program provides training in six filmmaking disciplines: Cinematography, Directing, Editing, Producing, Production Design and Screenwriting. Admission to AFI Conservatory is highly selective, with a maximum of only 140 graduates per year.
AFI alumni continually celebrate critical recognition, including wins at the Academy Awards, Emmy Awards, Cannes Film Festival, and the Sundance Film Festival.
A few of the notable AFI alumni include Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan), Jonathan Avnet (Fried Green Tomatoes), Drake Doremus (Like Crazy), Janusz Kaminski (DP of Lincoln), David Lynch (Mulholland Drive) and Terrence Malick (Tree of Life).
