Film and TV School (FAMU) is an integral part of The Academy of Performing Arts, which has been found after the World War 2nd in 1947. It is one of the oldest film schools in Europe, which kept its tradition even during the difficult time of communist regime. There are many influential filmmakers and scriptwriters among graduates from the school, many of them are known also within international context. Also most of people working in the local film and TV industry either in artistic or production positions, as well as still-photographers in various media are graduates from our school. Many professors and graduates emigrated on the other hand, and while abroad, contributed significantly to the education of American cinema school students (especially Frank Daniel and Vojtech Jasny). Foreign contacts were maintained in those days through the International Centre of Cinema and Television Schools CILECT (Centre International de Liaison des Ecoles de Cinema et de Television) and through International graduate-film reviews at Karlovy vAry - as part of the International Karlovy Vary Film Festival. In November and December 1989 the students and some of the professors of FAMU made a significant contribution to the overthrow of the repressive Communist regime.

The faculty is a founding member of CILECT, of the European League of Institutes of Arts (ELIA), and of the European Association of Cinema and Television Schools GEECT (Groupement Europeen des Ecoles de Cinema et de Television). Works of its graduates have reaped many awards at international festival and have often been coproduced with and broadcast over domestic television networks.

Milano In Digitale

Milan in digital is a project that was born from the first edition in 2006 of the competition with the same name. Currently the work group is made up of a staff of critics and curators working to promote young artists who work with new technology.
The event is organised by the foundation D’ars Oscar Signorini onlus with the Patronage of the council of Milan and the contribution of the Settore Tempo Libero of the Council of Milan and with the Patronage and the contribution of the Lombardy Region – Culture, Identità e Autonomie della Lombardia.

The winners of the competition have the opportunity to attend Transistor workshop.

The Milan in digital site was thought of not only as a useful reference point for the publication of side events to the competition, but also as an interactive platform for information and discussion.
The users will be invited to collaborate by sending recommendations, articles and proposals regarding the world of digital art. In this way the site will represent a kind of online laboratory in which the navigators can actively participate in the editing of contents and in the creation of a dialectic space in continuous evolution.
