Our campus combines the Filmakademie, the Animationsinstitut, the Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris and the Academy of Performing Art to form a creative centre. Students benefit from interdisciplinary and transmedia networking as well as a wide range of qualification opportunities.
Here you can find out more about our organisation, various initiatives, the campus, and our network.
Since its foundation in 1991, Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg has developed into one of the world's leading film schools. The project-orientated teaching concept of learning by doing has contributed to this. Students are supervised by more than 400 high-calibre experts from the film and media industry. Every year, teams of students from various departments produce about 250 films of all genres, which regularly win prizes at film festivals. The overriding objective of the programme is to provide students with the best possible preparation for a successful career in the film and media industry.
The Animationsinstitut has been part of Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg since 2002. The Institut is one of the world's leading training centres for animation and interactive media.

The Ludwigsburg Media Campus, which is unique in Europe, extends over two neighbouring areas and is shared by the Filmakademie with its Animationinstitut, the Academy of Performing Arts Baden-Wuerttemberg and the Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris.
This proximity leads to numerous interdisciplinary projects, which characterise studies at the Filmakademie just as much as its wide range of international programmes, which are constantly being developed further. During the course of their studies, around ¼ of students participate in international exchanges with partner universities on five continents.
The Filmakdemie is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg and is organised as a non-profit company with limited liability. In addition to the management and the supervisory board, a number of central facilities and departments ensure the smooth running of the study and production programme.
