IFSS is the home of daring cinema.

We aim to transform you into a fearless cinematic artist, with dynamic storytelling skills, technical excellence and a distinctive creative voice.

The International Film School Sydney immerses students in every aspect of cinema-making with an holistic approach to the diversity of forms – screens small and large. With full creative control, students make film after film using future-focused production facilities.

The two year intensive training teaches through a hands-on creative process that emulates worldwide industry practice; nurturing, supporting and challenging students on a path towards their own distinctive vision, voice and sensibility.

We believe that if you want to be a successful writer, director, editor, cinematographer or producer, you must first be immersed in all these disciplines in order that you fully understand the implications of every action you take and creative choice you make.

The International Film School Sydney is a Registered Training Organisation providing training and assessment services in filmmaking, registered with the New South Wales Government VETAB education and training body.
