During his recent study tour of the UK and the USA, director of Asian Academy of Film & TV (AAFT), Prof. Sandeep Marwah visited the world renowned London Film School (LFS) and exchanged views on film and television education with the director of LFS, Mr. Ben Gibson. The two film educators discussed how filmmaking’s creative challenges can be taught in conventional ways in the film school. The director of LFS was of the opinion that the students must work to an industry model that replicate professional working practices as realistically as possible. Mr. Ben Gibson accepted the proposal made by Prof. Sandeep Marwah to consider the possibility of exchanging training material, faculty and students of the two film schools from time to time. They also agreed to exchange the films produced by the students of their respective schools too. LFS is a life member of the Noida Film City based International Film & Television Research Centre. Life Membership of the International Film & Television Club has also been granted to Mr. Ben Gibson in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the film education and training in the United Kingdom
