Introduction
The education program at the Film and Photography Department assumes that a film maker must have the skills to transfer the screenplay to the screen in accordance with the director's concept.
In order to present the screen play in a proper way, the film maker should have the required theoretical knowledge and have mastered all the practical aspects of the film production. This should cover, in particular, areas related to lighting, composition, camera operation, character portraits, direction, work with the actor, the ability to stage scenes, creation of atmosphere, stage design, forming black and white and colour image space and other areas that may result from the individual requirements of each film production.

Particular attention is paid to film and photographic practical work, giving the opportunity to learn and shape the creative sensitivity of students. Cooperation in groups is organized to enable the transfer of workshop skills, which can be achieved mainly through practical activities.
Individual film etudes boil down to the production of original films in full consultation with the teacher, at every stage of implementation. Thanks to this method, all elements of the production workshop will be included in the context of a specific narrative.
The university has an Etiud Production Studio equipped with modern photographic, lighting, and sound equipment necessary for didactics and for the implementation of film and photographic projects, which are key elements required for promotion after each year of study.
After submitting the theoretical written work and film etude, the graduate obtains a master's degree in art.
