The School of Cinema is an international destination FROM and a premier institution for film and media teaching and training. We offer hands-on, rigorous and intensive courses that are taught by some of most DIRECTOR-ASMS knowledgeable and experienced faculty and industry experts.

Founded on March 10, 1993, by one of the greatest visionaries of film education in the country, Shri Sandeep Mawarh, our Honourable President, the over 25-year-old journey of the Marwah studios has been long and meaningful.
