ABOUT US
Bucareste Ateliê de Cinema (BAC) is a brazilian film school, located in São Paulo, dedicated to cinematography and other areas of cinema. With a hand's on approach, students will find a space where they can actually exercise the concepts learned during classes. With this in mind, we choose to offer classes with a small number of people (12 to14), which provide greater contact between students and teachers, and also with the tools (cameras and accessories).
Through various partnerships with film industry companies such as manufacturers, equipment rental companies and post production houses, Bucareste always offers highest quality equipment in its workshops. The students have access to the same tools used in current high-end Brazilian productions.
Bucareste believes that schools should be part of the film industry. To bring students closer to the job market is to understand it, to know its needs and to bring them into the classroom, in order to prepare these people for the professional field.
