UNATC I.L.Caragiale National University of Theatre and Film UNATC is the only state-financed higher-education institution in Romania, activating in the fields of both Theatre and Film.

UNATC has judicial person status and functions under the Romanian Education Law.

The first theatre faculty in Romania begins its activity in 1834 within the Philharmonic School. A Faculty of Stage Direction opens in 1948 within the Romanian Art Institute – at that time (1948-1950), the center of all Romanian higher education in the arts.

1950 sees the founding of both the Institute for Film and the Institute for Theatre I. L. Caragiale (named after the classic Romanian playwright). In 1954, the two institutions merge into the Institute of Theatre and Film I.L. Caragiale (IATC). The Institute will function under this name until 1990, when it will become the Academy of Theatre and Film (ATF) – the only such school in Romania to enjoy a ranking equal to that of a university, as well as international recognition. Since 1990, the Academy of Theatre and Film has undergone a continuous reform process. New specializations have been added, such as Audiovisual Communication and Multimedia: Sound-Editing (both at the Film Faculty), Puppets-Marionettes, Choreography and Scenography (at the Theatre Faculty). The number of students has gone up, while the curricula and study programs have been continuously improved and diversified.

In 1998, the Academy of Theatre and Film became the University of Theatre and Film I.L. Caragiale (UATC). In 2001, it became the National University of Theatre and Film I.L. Caragiale (UNATC).

We believe in cinema as an art that can synthesize our times better than any other. We believe in its power to transform communication as we know it. We believe in its power to revolutionize global culture and individual consciousness.

The Film Faculty’s defining concept is teamwork. A film is seen as the product of the union of creative energies emanating from all the Faculty’s departments. The UNATC Film Faculty is a member of CILECT and GEECT.

Almost all the major names of Romanian cinema have passed through this institution, which combines tradition with innovation, research with experiment.

For each specialization there is a repertoire of films or/and film authors that the candidate needs to have studied for the admission examination.The exams consist in two stages:The first stage, eliminatory – various practical tests challenge the candidate’s creativity, visual and associative memory, spirit of observation, general and specialized knowledge. The specific tests differ from one specialization to another.The second stage, marked on a scale from 1 to 10 – two or three different exams (depending on specialization) further challenge the candidate’s creativity and its adaptability to specific tasks. At the end of this stage, the candidates are ranked according to their scores.

Each year, the Film Faculty organizes preparatory classes (on Saturdays) for the admission exams.

MASTER’S DEGREEAdmission exams are held in mid-September and consist in two stages:Theoretical written test on the specialty, on a topic which is proposed by the admission commission.Practical / oral exam – either on subjects proposed by the admission commission, or on the basis of proposals submitted by the candidate at registration.

BACHELOR FILM, PHOTOGRAPHY, MEDIA (MULTIMEDIA: SOUND AND EDITING)MASTERFILM EDITING

The Film Editing Department prepares professional editors for the fields of cinema and other audiovisual media. Over three years, the department assures the necessary training for a high level of professional performance, certified by a BA degree. After that, the graduate is offered the possibility of applying for a two-year MA in order to further refine his/her editing skills for future work on fiction films. The curriculum in BA studies provides packages of fundamental disciplines for both the fields of film editing and film sound. It also provides two separate lines of optional disciplines, allowing students to gradually orient themselves, on the basis of personal predilection, towards either editing or sound design. During studies the focus is set on vocational interdisciplinary exercises in teams that simulate professional film production and stimulate the creativity of each crew member. For each project of this type, preparatory exercises are performed in class on structuring the footage during the editing stage. The concept underlying the BA in Multimedia: Sound and Editing highlights the interdependence between the basic elements common to two specific professions: editing and sound. The collaboration between students specializing in editing and students from other departments of the Faculty is mandatory, leading to the formation of creative teams for each project.

BACHELOR FILM, PHOTOGRAPHY, MEDIA (AUDIOVISUAL COMMUNICATION: SCREENWRITING, MEDIA ADVERTISING, FILM STUDIES) MASTERSCREENWRITING

The 3 years of BA are designed so that students learn the history, specialties and features of the screenwriting profession. The curriculum provides the framework for students to develop skills of film analysis from a narratological perspective and to learn the basics of writing scripts in various formats (television formats, literary adaptation etc.).

During the 3 years, students are guided and counseled through the stages and methods of developing screenplays for both shorts and feature films. They are taught various techniques, narrative structures etc. At the end of their studies, they have to complete a screenplay for a fictional feature film.

The concept behind the BA in Audiovisual Communication: Screenwriting, Media Advertising, Film Studies highlights the interdependence between basic features of two specific professions: screenwriter and film theorist/journalist/scholar.

MA students in Screenwriting have two more years to further enrich and refine their script-development techniques, and also to master specific forms of presentation in international screenplay competitions.

Apprentice-screenwriters are encouraged to contribute to the vocational exercises of their colleagues from other departments, as writers, co-writers, script doctors etc.

CLOSE UPCLOSE UP: FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES JOURNAL is a bi-annual English-language journal published by UNATC and it provides a platform for scholars and researchers with an interest in exploration of any aspect of cinema, film, television and new media. It aims to publish contributions interested in an in-depth analysis of the developments in this field and encourages fresh and interdisciplinary approaches, encompassing media theory, representation theory, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, culture studies, etc. The journal is expecting theoretical and scholar articles that analyze new forms of cinematic and media practice, and try to apply new tools of investigation and to enlarge the horizon of film and media studies.

FILM MENU

CINEMAIUBITThe CineMAiubit Student Film Festival was founded in 1996 on the initiative of film director and professor Elisabeta Bostan, Dean of the Film Faculty at the time. After a few editions, the festival became international, continuously developing since then. Over 16 editions (and counting), CineMAiubit was the launching pad for many of today’s young Romanian filmmakers, a well-known event where the public can come into contact with student productions, and a much-needed test for the artistic training of future film professionals. Many of the names that have become emblems of the New Romanian Cinema (NCR) were among the prizewinners of CineMAiubit. Taking place traditionally in early December at downtown Bucharest’s Studio Cinema, CineMAiubit became a meeting place for tradition and experiment, energy and professionalism.

FILM MENU is a film journal initiated and supported by UNATC and run by its film students. It appears every two months, starting from June 2009. It aims to help train future film professionals in our country, and also to help foster a more vital film culture, a more dynamic cinephile environment. It is also involved in the development of film events, including the organization, within the UNATC premises, of weekly and bi-weekly Cineclub events (screeningsfollowed by debates), as well as the monthly series Să film! (To Film!) (screenings of very recent Romanian features followed by meetings with the filmmakers). The magazine is distributed for free at these events, and also during various film festivals from Bucharest and other Romanian cities, as well as in various Romanian bookshops. It can be downloaded for free in pdf format at the filmmenu.word-press.com blog. For more info, please visit http://filmmenu.wordpress.com/

The Theatre Faculty’s mission is to prepare high-level professional artists in the field of theatre, capable of continuous improvement of their skills and aptitudes. The teaching process is centered on acquiring the main professional skills and abilities in order to ensure an immediate and seamless integration of the graduate student in a professional structure (theatre company) or to enable him/her to become initiators of artistic, managerial and pedagogical projects. The training programs reflect interest in both classical theatre values and the interdisciplinary concept that defines contemporary art. The creative lab has a central place in the Theatre Faculty providing the necessary framework for the formation of a free critical dynamic thinking. Students are encouraged to investigate as part of creative teams, to experience different working formulas, understand the theatre as a social phenomenon with a changing role in the contemporary world. An important factor in the training of the young artists is the direct contact with young audiences, which are seen as taking an active part in their formation.

As a leading exponent of the art theatre pedagogy in our country, UNATC developed new formative concepts highlighted by training cycles and by specific research. The UNATC Theatre faculty is a member of ELIA.
