During the upcoming 22nd edition of the International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography CAMERIMAGE<\/strong> we will screen films from two prestigious European film schools \u2013 Lodz Film School<\/strong> (formerly The Polish National Film, Television and Theatre School in Lodz<\/em>) and FH Dortmund<\/strong> (Fachhochschule Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts<\/em>).<\/p>\n The Polish National Film, Television and Theatre School<\/strong> was established in 1948 in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a and is considered one of the oldest and most prestigious film schools in the world. In August 2014 it was ranked 2nd in The Hollywood Reporters’<\/em> \u201eThe Top 15 International Film Schools\u201d article. Its mission is to educate directors and cinematographers of both live-action and animated films, lighting designers, still photographers, editors, screenwriters, producers and actors. Students gather practical and theoretical knowledge, and shoot their own projects on film or digital under artistic guidance of acclaimed Polish and international filmmakers. The school takes great pride in its unique master-apprentice relationship, which resulted in an amazing array of projects made by its alumni, including: Andrzej Wajda, Roman Pola\u0144ski, Jerzy Skolimowski, Zbigniew Rybczy\u0144ski, Krzysztof Kie\u015blowski, Jerzy W\u00f3jcik, Adam Holender, Witold and Piotr Soboci\u0144ski, Andrzej Bartkowiak, S\u0142awomir Idziak, Ryszard Lenczewski, Jerzy Zieli\u0144ski and Pawe\u0142 Edelman.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Although it is considered an underdog among German film schools, Fachhochschule Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts<\/strong> is widely acclaimed for its strong focus on visual storytelling. The idea behind the carefully designed school curriculum is to make cinematographers, still photographers, graphic designers, room and object designers, sound designers, and other future professionals influence each other’s work. The films to be screened as a part of the festival were produced, directed and edited by cinematographers – artists who strive constantly to find new means of storytelling. The school produces films that belong both to the classic genres of cinema, as well as experimental projects, music videos, commercials, and documentaries. For 21 years FH Dortmund<\/strong> has been educating not only professional cinematographers and filmmakers, but also – most importantly – truly visionary artists.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
