AFTRS alumni are a veritable 'who's who' of the screen and broadcast industries in Australia.
While best known for its directing and cinematography graduates AFTRS also has successful graduates from courses such as screen composition, production design, location sound, editing, computer animation, screenwriting and producing who are in great demand and are often employed before they graduate.
Since the 1970s AFTRS alumni have been contributing to the cultural fabric of Australia with many going on to achieve international success.
Industry partners and supporters make an important contribution to our productions and initiatives.
Many alumni and friends of AFTRS contribute to the life of the School through giving. Bequests, annuities, charitable trusts, scholarships, fellowships and prizes all provide significant benefits for AFTRS and its students and corporate and foundation support make many of the School's finest accomplishments possible.
The film industry relies on recommendations and referrals and an excellent way to 'break in' is to work on projects as a part of an attachment.
There are many crew and production roles on AFTRS film and television shoots filled through our attachmant scheme each year.
