The network of Hessian film and media studies
The Hessen Film and Media Academy (hFMA) was founded in October 2007.
The
film and media network’s mesh is becoming ever closer with every
project. The connected universities hold onto their teaching autonomy
while they profit from cooperation. The hFMA functions as a moderating
party between students, professors and external industry partners, for
ideas that lead beyond the boundaries of their own institutions, as a
catalyst for bringing together interdisciplinary approaches and as a
coordinator for their joint projects.
And not least it is a
cross-media practice, one that views film and media education as a whole
and adapts it according to the demands of the times – following our
motto: Better never stops!
