    Modern theatre and film directors pay special attention to the artistic integrity of the work, collaboration with actors, dramaturgy, rhythm, and visual expressiveness. In their projects, they consider not only aesthetic and creative aspects but also the psychology of audience perception, genre specifics, and the unique characteristics of stage and screen spaces.

    Today, directing is closely linked to the use of modern technologies: digital cinematography, editing, sound design, visual effects, and multimedia solutions. This allows for the creation of complex, multi-layered projects for both stage and screen. Directors draw inspiration from classical and contemporary theatre, cinema, literature, culture, and current social processes.

    The main goal of the educational program is to train highly qualified specialists with advanced artistic thinking and professional skills, capable of creating and implementing directorial projects in theatre and cinema.

    The department is staffed by experienced teachers, practicing directors, actors, screenwriters, and representatives of creative industries with significant professional and pedagogical experience.

    During the course of study, students master:

    • Fundamentals of directing and working with actors;
    • Screenwriting and film editing;
    • Stage speech and analysis of artistic works;
    • Stage movement, cinematography, sound design, and modern media technologies.

    Practical work is conducted in specialized classrooms, studios, and film sets, where students implement theatrical productions and film projects, including short films and video projects. A professional portfolio is developed during the learning process, which is essential for a future career.

    Career Opportunities: Graduates are in high demand in theatres, film studios, television and production centers, media companies, and as independent creative professionals. Faculty and students actively participate in festivals, competitions, and various creative projects
