Program Overview

Program Description:

Beyond Borders Film School is the first and only 3D nature film school in the world. We offer a 30 days course in South Africa about nature and wildlife filmmaking in 2D and 3D. Accompanied by professional nature filmmakers we teach every stage of how to make a documentary. We provide very luxury accommodation, food, lectures in classroom and in the field and we give our student the opportunity to make their own short documentary either in 2D or 3D. This will serve as a showreel with their certificate when they are back home. Nature in 3D has no limit and we are passionate about what we do and what we teach.
