The London Film Academy (LFA) is a UK film school situated in Fulham, London. Founded in 2001 as a non-profit making trust, the LFA provides practical courses on a variety of film-making skills.[1][2][3] The school's joint principals are Anna MacDonald and Daisy Gili.[3]

History

Based within a converted Methodist Church on Walham Grove, the London Film Academy was founded in 2001. The stated ethos was to produce practical film courses that focused on the art of celluloid filmmaking, with lecturers that were active within the film industry.[1][3][2]

In January 2006 the LFA formed a partnership with Club Panico. Panico was created in the mid eighties and has patrons that include Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Sir Ben Kingsley. Together with the LFA, Panico now serves as a stepping stone to industry for graduate and post graduate students.

The LFA holds its annual graduation show at the BFI Southbank. Daisy Gili and Anna MacDonald co-founded the Academy and have served as joint principals of the LFA for fifteen years, and remain so as at 2018.[3]

Accreditation

The London Film Academy was reviewed by the QAA (Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education) in November 2012. The result was a positive affirmation of LFA standards.[4] The LFA's Writer-Diploma Course is Creative Skillset Approved.[5]
