‘Producers Will Wait in Line for Our Graduates’
This year, the HSE Film Institute is welcoming its first applicants. How does the Institute teach screenwriters, directors, actors, and producers? How do the Institute’s degree programmes differ from those of other specialised universities? What’s a better way for students to enter the industry—arthouse or mainstream films? How will the industry deal with the economic crisis? Alexander Akopov, Director of the HSE Film Institute, answered these questions and more in an interview with the HSE News Service.
