About us
Established in 2004, the International Academy of Film and Television (lAFT) has created a strong presence and reputation in Southeast Asia and the United States. There are currently 7 campuses globally, with locations in Los Angeles, Miami, Hong Kong, Cebu, and more recently, Belgium, Indiana and Las Vegas. IAFT Nigeria, therefore, has a flexible franchise to adopt IAFT’s teaching modules and technology to teach and train students in Africa on international filmmaking standards. IAFT Nigeria has the mandate of helping to build the talents required to embrace this growing, competitive and evolving industry. IAFT Nigeria’s focus is to recruit students who possess great intent to enter the film industry and make a contribution.

As a school that is run by educationist, media experts and filmmakers for filmmakers, IAFT Nigeria prides itself as one of the only film schools in the continent that is supported by a production studio, Bigfoot Entertainment. The Academy, however, relies on investors’ capital to operate as a self-sustaining branch of the IAFT California.

Why IAFT Nigeria
Nigeria remains a unique conglomeration of tribes, tongues, culture, customs, religion and traditions which arguably makes beautiful spectrum of inestimable values that should be creatively harnessed. With an estimated 200 million population habouring about 250 ethnic groups and over 300 languages, the country indeed qualifies to be the most populous black nation in the World. The most interesting aspect of the population is the fact that chunk of it is young with notable characteristics of being gregarious, smart, teachable, civilized, adventurous and latent talents in entertainment. Nigeria’s clement ecosystem and modest infrastructure avail us the enormous opportunity to leverage on them while grooming these talents and make movies of different genre. IAFT Nigeria is an ivory tower that is committed to the transferring of latest secret of quality filmmaking approaches to its students and established film executives that wish to widen their scope of knowledge in order to remain competitive.
The Academy is also committed to creating a quality film impartation hub in Africa for Africans and this is with the aim of providing the enabling environment and infrastructure for stakeholders on the continent to help reduce the palpable knowledge gap in the sector.
