We are pleased to share that our Director, Ms. Amala Akkineni, was recently featured in The New Indian Express, where she offered an in-depth perspective on the evolving landscape of cinema and the role of professional film education in preparing the next generation of storytellers.
In the interview, she reflects on Annapurna College of Film and Media’s commitment to:
🔹 Strong foundational training in editing, cinematography, sound design, acting, production, and post-production
🔹 Hands-on, practice-driven learning that mirrors real industry timelines, budgets, and workflows
🔹 Future-ready skill development, including exposure to cutting-edge tools, Dolby Atmos sound, advanced camera systems, and AI-enabled creative technologies
🔹 A culture of mentorship grounded in listening, guidance, and a non-judgmental environment that nurtures artistic confidence and experimentation
She also emphasises the transformations shaping the industry — from the shift to digital formats, immersive audio, and OTT platforms to the rise of AI and rapid changes in viewer behaviour. Through this, our mission remains clear:
✨ To equip students with both timeless cinematic craft and the technological fluency required for the screens of tomorrow.
