The Scuola Nazionale di Cinema
(National Film School) is concerned with
discovering and developing new talents.
For more than seventy years, whole generations of film-makers
and some of the most famous figures in Italian cinema have passed
through its classrooms and film-studios. The Scuola
Nazionale di Cinema (National Film
School), which forms part of the Centro Sperimentale di
Cinematografia (Experimental Cinematography Centre), is
dedicated to training students for professions in the
cinema. Admission to the School is conditional on passing
an entrance examination. The interdisciplinary teaching programme
prepares students in the specific areas of directing,
scriptwriting, acting, photography, editing, sound techniques,
production, set-design, props and wardrobe. Various
specialist courses are available at the School's regional centres.
So, students can study Animation at the Piedmont
School, or Industrial Cinema: Documentary and
Advertising and Television Drama Creation and
Production at the Lombardy School, while the Sicily
School runs course in Historical and Artistic Documentary
and Docu-Drama.
