AUSTRALIAN FILM TELEVISION AND RADIO SCHOOL

AFTRS is the national screen and broadcast school – the only Australian education institution to consistently make The Hollywood Reporter‘s prestigious annual list of the top film schools in the world. We believe that a country is shaped by its stories. In an increasingly complex world, Australians have never needed good stories more, to understand who we are and who we can be. As the national screen and broadcast school, AFTRS trains the talent that creates these stories.

5000+ awards and selections for student films at the world's most prestigious festivals, including Cannes, Venice, Berlin and Sundance

Our alumni and staff have won a slate of Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Emmys, BAFTAs, AACTAs and Commercial Radio Awards
