// Why Iceland?
Are you an aspiring filmmaker thinking about studying abroad? Consider our International Program, a comprehensive two-year film education in English for foreign students. Why study in Iceland? Here are a few things that we think make us pretty special:- Up here in the North Atlantic, we're influenced by the filmmaking traditions of both North America and Europe. Like our Viking forefathers, we take the best from both worlds.
-
A storytelling tradition that reaches back over 1,000 years.
- Volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, lava fields, deserts -- this is where Hollywood comes when they want to impress you.
- Our DIY attitude -- other places hem you in with all sorts of rules, but we just go out and get things done.
- Our culture of innovation -- if you have a good idea, you can make it happen (see Iceland Airwaves). We have the feeling that anything is possible.
- We used to be expensive, but then something bad happened. Take advantage of our newfound affordability.
