I'm very happy to say that I've been accepted into the eight-month foundation course at the European Film College in Ebeltoft, starting September this year. "Learn about all aspects of the film world" pretty much sums up what the course is about, it costs approx. 70,000 DKK, but the money is well spend, just take a look at what you'll get out of it:
The school has access to 300 m2 film and television studio equipped for building sets and shooting fiction.
The picture editing facilities rival the editing facilities of many professional post-production houses and TV stations.
The EFC has two cinemas. The main one, Store Bjørn ("Big Bear", named after Nordisk Film's logo) is recognized as one of the finest cinemas in Denmark.
The college has an extensive collection of DVDs, videos, and books as well as an archive of short and documentary films on 16mm.
Weekly lectures are held by prominent industry people like Alan Parker (director of Evita, Mississippi Burning, The Life of David Gale, etc.) and Rick Senat, former Vice President of Warner Brothers studios.
EFC plans an annual trip to a Film festival.
The school prides itself on excellent food, made by professional chefs and experts in nutrition. Everything is made from fresh ingredients and they bake all their own bread. Students will be served three meals a day plus healthy snacks in the afternoon.
I'm so happy! ;D
DUDE THAT’S AWESOME! :D
“is recognized as one of the finest cinemas in Denmark.”
eeerrr… who rated it that high? :X
You know nothing. NOTHING!
;D! See you in Ebeltoft City. I’m imagining a craaazy nightlife. :P
That’s the impression we want from you, and when you are permantly set here…. you’ll understand that it was all lies..
Oh, crap.
But you won’t have time for that either. With all the time you _apparently_ will spend stalking me.
Development of digital technologies occurs prompt rates. Does not lag behind progress and digital TV. Speaking about digital TV, we first of all mean satellite TV. The digital satellite TV becomes more and more accessible to simple users. The market paid satellite tv also is not necessary on a place. The new digital standard of TV of high clearness HDTV actively develops and takes root. The satellite TV becomes more and more directed on the spectator. Besides digital quality of the image, advantage of satellite systems also is also the extensive cover zone of the companion.
Hi, my name is Emilia and I am considering attending European film college. I have been browsing your website for a while now as I am looking for any valuable feedback on this school.
Would you mind giving me some info about the 8 1/2 month program???
It would be very helpful.
Thank you!!!
Emilia
Hi! Well, what do you want to know? I can tell you that the most valuable thing I got out the stay was a network of film-interested friends. Today I live with a friend I met at the school and often hang out with others I met there. Many of those friends still work in films, I think 6 or 7 students from my year is studying the Danish film school. It’s honestly quite easy to get a job in the Danish film business after staying at the school, because it’s so well-connected.
The stay itself was an insanely good experience as well. High quality teaching, but the experience of living at a school with 99 people who share your interests is just amazing.
Thank you very much for your answer.
I tried to contact several people but noone wrote me back except for one wonderful girl…
I am very glad that your experience was positive. You helped me make my decision and I will probably try to get accepted. It seems to be one of the best possibilities in Europe one can choose from.
I wish you good luck and once again – I am very grateful for your words.
Emilia
You’re welcome. :) If you have more questions you can contact me on fookhar@gmail.com or in here. Hope you’ll decide to apply, the “højskole” experience is quite unique regardless of what you’re studying.
