About Us

What makes the LFA unique?
The London Film Academy is an exciting and innovative venture in practical film training based in the hub of one of the world’s leading film capitals. LFA runs professional-standard practical training in all the key areas of filmmaking. All tutors are working professionals.
     
The standard of education at LFA enables students to go out into the industry with the skills and experience necessary to find professional employment.
  John Ward, DOP, Steadicam Operator (Full Metal Jacket, The Fifth Element, The Ninth Gate) and LFA tutor  
LFA is producing a new generation of filmmakers meeting the industry demand for individuals who are multi-skilled, collaborative and innovative. Our graduates have successfully entered the film and television industry with an unparalleled breadth of experience and specialised knowledge, proving they have a unique advantage over those graduates who have focused knowledge in only one area. The LFA’s commitment to teaching a wider range of practical skills, working on both film and digital mediums, allows students to find their creative voices whilst also enhancing their chances of making a living and forging a successful career in this field.
     
So why choose a relatively new film school that is taking on the giants of the UK film school world? The answer is simple. The LFA punches above its weight and expects everyone who comes on the course to do the same. The LFA is small and personable. It is about passion for film. It is about people. Film-making is one of the most team-intensive industries around. If you can't communicate, co-operate and lead then you are going to struggle in anything. You're certainly going to struggle in film-making where you need everyone around you
  Dave Cray, LFA Diploma graduate 2004  
As technology changes so do our courses. We incorporate digital elements in all our training but remain primarily geared around working with professional 16mm film to ensure experience gained by our students is as close to the professional film-making world as possible. Whatever the changes in technology, the language and grammar of making films always remain the same. Working primarily on 16mm film gives students a rare discipline and a higher quality of training that prepares them to work effectively and creatively within other mediums including digital technology.
Realistically, we all know a paper qualification isn’t enough to get a foot on the ladder in this competitive industry. What also counts is contacts and practical career advise and that’s what we provide. The LFA is unique in being able to offer all students free membership and access to events through Club Panico@LFA, our emerging filmmakers' member’s club. The activities of the club aim to equip the students with a range of knowledge, contacts, skills, production support and discounted equipment/facilities hire. This helps students make independent films as well as finding work or work placements during our courses and long after they leave us.
Despite market forces, we continue to maintain our founding principle of affordable film training for all, that is of a high standard and relevant to today’s industry. The school also supports cultural and social diversity with 50% of its intake comprising of international students from all over the world, selected from diverse social backgrounds. As a registered non-profit trust, we offer a higher level of accountability. All fees go into the courses and basic running expenses of the school. There are no hidden costs here at the LFA either. All equipment, facilities and materials, are provided for all workshops, exercises and short films and are included in the tuition fees.
The LFA is no fast food establishment. It is a small intimate film school, passionate about film and its students. As such, we continue to maintain a policy of small intakes on all courses, preserving a productive tutor to student ratio that allows for intensive group and one-to-one mentoring. Staff and tutors take pride in nurturing a uniquely intimate, intensive and creative energy within the school, facilitating a production house for innovation, professional development and excellence.
The LFA - a film school that gets results!
     
It's undoubtedly a slick operation, filled with an infectious energy. It is almost as if, while other film schools churn out graduating class after graduating class with bored ease this youthful establishment is still excited to be home to movie makers, not yet cynical about the harsh world it is preparing its children for

FULHAM BROADWAY AREA
The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham lies to the west of central London and is a quick tube ride from both Heathrow and the West End. It is a cosmopolitan borough with over 200,000 residents reflecting many nationalities and featuring a great range of entertainment venues including newly built Warner Village cinema, and other independent cinemas on both Fulham and King’s Road, shopping centres and street markets (ranging from the North End Road Market to the elegance of the Kings Road with its antique shops and galleries), interesting restaurants, six theatres including the Lyric Hammersmith and sporting venues including Fulham and Chelsea Football Clubs.
The river Thames, with its beautiful riverside parks and historic pubs, is the setting for the world famous Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race.
The borough has a rich history and attractions include Fulham Palace (which was home to the Bishops of London for hundreds of years and now contains a museum depicting its history and an 18th century walled garden) and Kelmscott House, home of William Morris, the famous 19th century English poet and artist.

ON LOCATION: London Film Academy On Locaton in Algarve 30.3.2011

Study in one of the world's most beautiful locations  - the Algarve, the southern-most region of mainland Portugal. Due to its all-year-round mild weather, the Algarve is one of the most attractive areas in the Mediterranean for filming.

After the success of our course last summer we are returning to the Algarve with more courses and workshops later this year.
Learn more at: www.facebook.com/londonfilmacademyonlocationinalgarve
This course is run in collaboration with the Algarve Film Comission.
And this is what our graduates have to say...
