Learn filmmaking inside a world-class production environment
AFA’s flagship Riyadh campus is rooted in Al Hisn Big Time Studios — one of the most exciting professional film and television production environments in Saudi Arabia. Students learn where large-scale production happens, bridging education and industry from day one. It is the planned home of AFA’s initial one-year filmmaking conservatory and the Academy’s primary academic and industry hub.
