MetFilm School Berlin

Overview

MetFilm School Berlin is based at Atelier Gardens (formerly BUFA Studios), one of the oldest film studios in Europe, located in the Tempelhof/Neukölln area of Berlin.

The School’s location enables students to experience the atmosphere of a working film studio on a day-to-day basis.

  • Students benefit from state-of-the-art facilities and art training spaces at Atelier Gardens, including a fully equipped 1,500sq ft studio, two standing sets, a 5:1 surround sound screening room, and post production suites.
