History

Originally founded in the first post-war months of 1945 as the Academy of Dramatic Arts for the education of actors, directors and playwrights, this institution was renamed as the Academy for Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT) in 1963 and in 1975 it became a Faculty of the University of Ljubljana. Since 1963 - coinciding with the appearance of television in Slovenia at the end of the 1950s - it has framed its curricula in three departments - Drama, Film and Television, and Theatre and Radio.

Programme

AGRFT offers undergraduate studies in acting and speech training, theatre and radio directing, film and television directing or dramaturgy (theatre and film studies), and postgraduate studies specialising in dramaturgy (theatre history, drama history, drama and theatre theory, film history and film theory), acting, speech training, theatre directing, radio directing, television directing, film directing, set design and costume design. During the Academy’s lifetime it has granted more than 400 diplomas to actors, directors and playwrights. The Academy is planning in future to expand its Theatre and Radio Department with a Puppet Theatre programme and its Film and Television Department with programmes on Cinematography, Editing, Sound, Production and Screenwriting.

Each year a total of 20 students of all disciplines enrol at the Academy. The number is limited, mainly due to lack of space and other resources. AGRFT offers a combination of intensive practical skills and theoretical studies in a variety of fields, ranging from philosophy to phonetics. Gradually the Academy has developed the production of short films and radio and television programmes. AGRFT students regularly participate in theatre and film festivals in Slovenia and also abroad, where they have gained enviable successes as well as a high profile for their craft. Each semester the Academy organises several productions in which students present their work. Diploma performances are open to a wide arts audience, and Academy films are broadcast on national television.

AGRFT incorporates the Centre for Theatre and Film Studies, which also includes the AGRFT Library.

Projects

The Academy bestows the annual Grossman Award for the best short film script or short TV film screenplay following a competition which is open to students of all Slovene universities.

International cooperation

AGRFT is a member of the International Centre of Film and Television Schools (CILECT) and the European Grouping of Film and Television (GEECT). The Academy participates in international student and professor exchange programmes such as SOCRATES, ERASMUS and CEEPUS.
