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.
HISTORY
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).

SHORT
DESCRIPTION
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.

Practice and Volunteering at the Film Faculty covers the non-theoretical aspects of the jobs for which our students are preparing, providing them
with the possibility of choosing from a wide range of extra-curricular
activities. Students are free to choose each semester the particular activity
which they find best suited to the development of their skills. The hours of
practice are integrated in the students’ weekly schedule. Unlike the usual
summer practice in the professional industry, this formula was consciously
developed in order to familiarize students with the elements of discipline
and routine inherent in any film-related work.
International partnerships The Film Faculty is a member of several
international consortia reuniting major European film schools. These
programs offer students the opportunity to participate in workshops and
international congresses, under the guidance of prestigious tutors of the
international film industry.

ADMISSION
Admission examinations for the Film Faculty are held each year in
August-September. The exams include eliminatory skills tests (which
evaluate the candidate’s creativity and vocational skills in the relevant
field), theoretical and practical evaluation tests.
BACHELOR’S DEGREE
Admission exams take place in the latter part of August and early
September. 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 DEGREE
Admission 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.
The final mark consists of the average grade of the two exams, thus
establishing the final ranking of the candidates.

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.

to the Romanian film industry’s acute need for trained producers.
It is open to candidates from any area of specialization of the BA.
In the two years of study, production students fulfill various roles
in film crews (production assistants, delegate producers, executive
producers) to become familiar with the technique and technology
of film, and its creative side.
Collaboration with other departments of the faculty is mandatory.
The faculty encourages the formation of complete film crews from
the earliest stages of script development. Teamwork is encouraged
during all the subsequent stages.
During the MA, students must work as executive producers on at
least one fiction film shot on HD (in the 1st year) and at least one

CINEMAIUBIT
The 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.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
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.
