The Faculty of Screen Arts carries out educational programmes of higher professional education for bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees and specialist’s diplomas.

For many years cinematographers-to-be studied at one of the oldest universities of St.Petersburg (Leningrad). It was widely known all across the Soviet Union as the Leningrad Institute of Motion-Pictures Engineers (LIKI). It 1992 LENFILM Studio took its first steps to set up the Faculty of Screen Arts. The founders of the faculty realised it should provide students with professional Cinematography education because film production required new Directors, Scriptwriters, Cameramen, Sound Engineers, Film Experts and Film Editors. Therefore, a wide range of special Cinematography and Television subjects was developed for the Faculty curricula.

Potential students demonstrate their ability to share their inner world and motivation to study at the University, as if they are able to it, they have true potential to become original artists in the future.
