Pisek's film schools are working on a series of documentary films focusing on traditional crafts from the South Bohemian region. The point of the project is to connect these crafts with youth and re-generate interest in them. In this day and age we can all sense this loss of tradition! The project is supported by the South Bohemian region.
Thanks to a grant from the South Bohemian region as part of their "Support of new fields of study at universities in the South Bohemian Region", we just installed a new projector and larger projection screen in the school cinema.
At FAMO we're committed to change, to growth. On that note, we'd like to welcome director and photographer MgA. Jan Eliáš Svatoš to our teaching team.
August saw a group of 13 students from ZBTI university in Ningbo China attend FAMO for a three week intensive program taking the students through the fundamentals of cinematography, directing, sound design and editing and culminating in 3 short films.
