The department »Film« is based on the traditition of the artistic film d'auteur. In addition to this, it follows the HFBK's interdisciplinary approach to study by addressing related disciplines and consequently locating the students' own artistic efforts specifically within this extended context of art and image production. The aim is not to stick to classic professions such as directing, screen-play writing or camera, but to develop artistic work whose strength lies in independent creative innovation.
