How good is London Film School?

Answer 1

London Film School is accredited by the international organization, CICLET, an association of the world's major television and film schools. It is the "oldest-established international school of film technique in the world" according to the school's website. LFS is known for having many international students, and alumni have cited the internationality of the school as one of its benefits. Meeting diverse students sparks students creativity. Alumni of LFS have been successful. For example, screenplay writer Michael Johnson worked on the recent blockbuster Sherlock Holmes. As far as British film schools go, LFS is one of the best.

LFS has also been involved in the debate about how much film school is worth in such a hands-on industry. The consensus seems to be that for very lucky, determined, talented individuals, it is better to jump into the film industry; however, for other aspiring filmmakers, attending a prestigious film school like LFS can provide a bridge into the film industry.
