IADT National Film School: Animation. NFS. Oliver Stone delivers NFS lecture series. NFS. National Film School, IADT. The National Film School (NFS) at IADT was launched in November 2003.
It is a professional centre of excellence that both reflects and influences practice in the film, animation, broadcasting and digital media industries by providing creative, technical and academic education of an international standard. This status is based on: the consistently high achievements of its student productions in both professional competitions and festivals, at home and abroad; the careers of its graduates in the entertainment and media industries; the very high standard of applied film education that has been provided by us in Dún Laoghaire for almost 30 years; and the excellence of its staff.
IADT’s full-time and part-time staff possess considerable industry experience and a high proportion continue to work as practitioners. It has the widest portfolio of overlapping, inter-connected practical full-time courses on the island of Ireland all of which are honours undergraduate programmes (4 years): NFS who we are.
