[1][2] In 1988 the school became an independent institution and in 1998 the school—until then spread out on several addresses—relocated to its current premises on Holmen as part of the Danish Centre for Artistic Educations.

The teaching programme is a mixture of theoretical and practical training and includes a large number of exercises and productions.

The students' final project is a film produced on a professional level and presented to the public on national TV.

Director Poul Nesgaard headed the school between 1992 and 2014, when film editor Vinca Wiedemann [da] took over.

The school also arranges courses for film and TV professionals from abroad and seminars with the participation of other Nordic countries.
