My primary goal for this semester was to learn more in depth the art and science of cinematography the directing aspect was completely secondary. The biggest saving grace in this program for me was that I received a great deal more knowledge and experience through my fellow classmates on set film sets.

Now that the semester is over, I know that was not necessarily the case at least in the classroom setting , but I still came away with a great amount of knowledge on numerous things.
Here is a list of pros and cons that I feel would be most useful for anyone about to go into the program or thinking of applying to the program. You get to shoot on 35mm film. Film schools will eventually follow suit. You will learn in greater detail about the art of the short screenplay. You will also learn in greater detail how to pitch a short screenplay idea to a group of professors that hold nothing back β you will get harsh, but fairly honest critiques because they want you to have a story that is both compelling and sensical.
You will be studying under the best filmmakers in the Czech Republic in the best film school in Europe. They have plenty of advice to give and experience to share β but only if you make the effort to try and see them outside of class.
Oftentimes though they are pretty busy so you have to push to get these meetings with them. Most of their time is spent in the classroom listening to film ideas and tearing them to shreds β you can get more constructive feedback from them if you manage to talk to them one on one.
