MAPS Film School - Adelaide, South Australia

The skills I learnt at MAPS made me a better person and taught me what I needed to navigate the film industry post graduation. I personally flourished with the mix of practical (+ highly relevant) teaching and self directed learning.

Our teachers gave us all the tools and knowledge they could for us to succeed. It is evident that they care a lot and are always trying to make the course the best it can be. I will always have positive memories of MAPS and will try and keep in contact with the wonderful educators (and past students) that I met there. Definitely the best place to study film in SA.

Best film education in South Australia hands down. There is no contention. I studied a bachelor of media at the University of Adelaide for three years before attending maps. In the one year of being at MAPS, I learnt soo much more about the industry and gained soooo much experience. I was lucky enough to direct two films which is valuable experience you wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else. All the teachers are amazing and it’s very clear that they care about you and want you to succeed. There is a very big focus on getting students out in the field. Hands on and very practical course. If I could go back, I’d skip uni and do the two years at this school. I made connections at MAPS that will last forever. It’s a great network here in SA and if you’re remotely interested in film making, I highly recommend looking into maps.

I attended both first and second year at MAPS and enjoyed both immensely. The course is perfect for those looking to get hands on experience and guidance for what the industry is really like. It’s honestly incredible how much you can learn in just one year.

MAPS is an amazing place to learn about filming, especially for those who learn best by doing. All the teachers are a well of knowledge with their own speciality and industry experience.

Great film school. Unlike most universities it offers a hands-on environment where you learn how to make films by doing just that. There are both 1 year and 2 year courses available resulting in either a diploma or advanced diploma in screen media. To anyone wanting pursuit to pursue a career in screen media I cannot recommend it enough.

Easily the most hands on and practical course in Adelaide. Amazing instructors who are currently working in the industry. 10/10.
