Welcome to European Film College

Are you dreaming of a future in the film industry? European Film College (EFC) is a Danish folk high school, where students and teachers live on campus. We focus on film and offer an internationally recognized 1-year film foundation programme to young people from all over the world. We offer a combination of the high professional level found at a film school and the unique social community found at a Danish folk high school. 

On our intensive 1-year film programme, which is taught in English, you are thrown directly into the world of filmmaking. The school operates like a highly professional film production house, where theory is always followed by practice. You get the chance to explore the key roles in film production and get familiar with some of the creative subjects that form the backbone of any professional production: Production management, screenwriting, directing, documentary, sound, lighting, cinematography, editing, and acting. Here, you get the opportunity to find your unique voice and specialize in your interests.

The school is beautifully situated on the outskirts of Ebeltoft. The cobbled streets and the magnificent nature of Mols Bjerge serve as an inspiring backdrop for the many stories told every year through our students' films.

But at EFC, you learn more than just how to operate a camera. Making films requires strong collaboration, so at European Film College, we place a high priority on students getting to know each other inside out. We ensure there is space to create the bonds that tie the community together and allow friendships to blossom. We gather every day around mealtimes, which are the social heart of the school.

As a student, you become part of a lifelong international network, and you step into the footsteps of former students, many of whom play an important role in the global film industry today.
