The Kelle Film Academy
Kelle Film Academy
Recently I happened onto the Kelle Film Academy’s website. This is a film school based in Berlin, with programmes for movie direction, camera and cutting, as well as director assistance for digital cinematography.
Besides the funny coincidence of having the same name, I enjoy to see such developments because I strongly support the fine arts of film making. What may seem straightforward from an outsider perspective in reality is far from trivial: Film is a medium that combines various forms of art into something very rich and complex, hence the possibilities to do it wrong multiply. Those who want to get serious about film making should first learn it from the experts, and of course it is also a matter of seizing the right opportunities: Instead of wasting time and money with tedious and volatile enrollment procedures necessary for getting into longer established film schools, the Kelle Film Academy might be a smart alternative. And Berlin is not a bad place either.
