free atmosphere through the politically repressive 1970s
and 1980s. Many professors and graduates emigrated
and, while abroad, contributed significantly to the
education of American cinema school students (especially
Frank Daniel and Vojtech Jasny). The faculty are members
of CILECT, of the European League of Institutes of Arts
(ELIA) , and of the European Association of Cinema and Television Schools GEECT (Groupement Européen
