FITS - on the Rhine
LMU's Film and Television Satellite Semester in Bonn, Germany, offers students an extraordinary opportunity to study the art of Film production with a team of experienced professors in the pulsating media region of Europe. The various disciplines of Cinematography, Editing, Directing and Production are provided to selected American Film students with an European theme and ambience.
With this unique combination of American & European filmmaking & television production the anticipation is high: A profound understanding in these arts and crafts as well as a cultural awareness that influences the productions all over the world.
The Loyola Marymount University (LMU), Los Angeles developed in cooperation with the AIB Academy of International Education in Germany the FITS-Europe (Film and Television School). The film school was established to combine American educational studies with a distinct European cultural experience, s.a. international production and business experience. The FITS-Europe is located in the Bonn/Cologne/Duesseldorf area. Major advertising, art, communications and TV production companies are located here.
FITS are Junior courses uniquely combined into Master Workshops; each of the program's courses are taught in blocks of three weeks, and concluded by a six-week production session, during which each student produces his or her own digital documentary, experimental or art film. The Fits - Film & Television Semester in Bonn is an LMU program, therefore all credits and grades, including those earned in the German Language & Culture class, transfer automatically to LMU.
