As a recent student at this school, I would like to emphasize that anyone who seriously wishes to learn filmmaking should NOT come to this school. It sounds cheap which is why any foreign student even considers it as an option. All the foreign students (a group I was one of) have all come because of the slick internet site. There are so many mistruths on the site. The school is located in a place called "Film City". It may well be 100 acres in total including streets and other buildings belonging to various film and non-film businesses, but the school itself is no bigger than perhaps one acre. I strongly suspect that "Olivia" (one of the reviewers) has never even been to the school, because unless she was blind, she wiould realise how big it is. The one year course is made up of 4x3 month courses. In between each course, you will have a 3 week orientation (the same one each time which is a complete waste and most students do not bother to attend). I suspect very much that any positive comments on this site are being written by members of the staff of the school at the behest of the owner, because all of the foreign students studying there would not have written anything positive. The hostel is a horrible place to stay. Noisy and no privacy at all even if you have a private room. The food is sub standard at best and most foreigners stop eating it after a week or so. You have virtually no chance to meet any person within the industry. Any person who does come is milked for a photo oportunity. As long as you pay your fees, you WILL get your diploma (with English spelling mistakes). The school has very little film culture and local students can be rarely heard to even talk about films. Any foreigner who is contemplating this school for a one year course or longer is advised to spend the money and buy an air ticket to visit the school first and talk to the foreign students in person (if you can find one that has turned up) and make your final decision. Don't say you weren't warned if you just decide to go. Opposed to the longer courses, the individual three month courses (that make up the longer courses) are similarly a waste of your money and time because you will learn very little of practical value, however they will allow you to get a taste of life in India if that is what you want to go there for. Be clear about your reasons for applying. If you are serious, then look further than this school. You will get exactly what you pay for!

ahhh i guess its a professional college and you have to behave like a professional too, if you snooze here you loose.Great facilities and infrastructure with lot of industry people coming in to give lectures which certainly helps in future. Hostel is okay for the price you pay and food is very basic and healthy which is good for a long run

Well, I can't say I know anything about the school. I can't say it's good. Or it's bad.
The only things I see are pictures from MA program where a director shows the framing for himself? While clapper is ready? And the cameraoperator is ready to shoot. The picture is what the school shows to represent it's top level. I only saw cheap dv cameras around the sets. If this is what they show when they're on their peak, then watch out!
But who knows, maybe they just choose the wrong pictures for the site.

Renowned Japanese animator Yasuhiro Imagawa was recently in Noida Film City to interact with the students of Asian School of Media Studies and Asian Academy of Film & TV. He was invited by Japan Cultural and Information centre to visit prominent cultural centres and academic institution in India. Tracing the sixty year long history of Japanese animation Yasuhiro Imagawa made an interesting presentation on somewhat conflicting requirements of TV advertising and animation products. He screened a number of his films to drive home several aspects of this fine art. Complementing the team headed by Prof. Sandeep Marwah on establishing excellent media schools, Yasuhiro Imagawa suggested that the students should be made to watch and analyze the film of Japanese film director Ozu to understand cinema and how to the medium of films could be used to tell a story or convey a message. He was accompanied by director of Japan Cultural and Information Centre Minoru Kikuchi, minister counsellor Embassy of Japan Motokatsu Watanabe and manager Asia Operation Ruchi Naithani.
