History

The 13 universities and colleges were united on initiative of the Hessian Ministry of Science and the Arts and the universities connected therewith.

In October 2007 the State Minister at the time, Udo Corts, announced the founding of hessische Film- und Medienakademie.

It has been active since August 2008. The hFMA office is situated at Offenbach Academy of Art and Design in Offenbach. Its Executive Director is Anja Henningsmeyer.
