About Inside Film Institute

A film school on real sets, in Panchkula, Chandigarh Tricity

Inside Film Institute is a practical film institute in Panchkula, in the Chandigarh Tricity. Since 2019 we have trained students in filmmaking, cinematography, VFX, video editing and acting for camera – and we teach the way films are really made: on real sets, with real cameras, on real productions. The institute is a unit of Inside Motion Pictures LLP, a working production house, so your teachers are working filmmakers, cinematographers, editors and VFX artists.

01Five courses, one goal

Choose the filmmaking course that fits you. Pro Filmmaking (12 months) takes you from script to screen – direction, cinematography, editing, colour grading and sound. Pro VFX (12 months) covers compositing, Blender 3D and green-screen work. Pro Cinema (6 months) is direction, cinematography and lighting on a real film set. Video Editing using AI (6 months) teaches editing, colour grading and AI tools, and Acting for Camera (3 months) prepares you for screen work and auditions. Pro Filmmaking, Pro VFX, Pro Cinema and Video Editing all include AI tools.

02Learning on real film sets

Most of your time goes into shooting, editing and projects, with short classes to explain each skill. Students crew real productions – the web series DHRITI, music videos and our first feature film – and attend cinema camera workshops with RED, ARRI, Sony Venice, FX6 and Burano cameras. You finish the course with a showreel of your own work.

03Accommodation included

Every course fee includes accommodation – a private or shared room 500 m to 2.5 km from the institute – so students from Punjab, Haryana, Himachal and across North India can move to Chandigarh and focus on learning. Fees can be paid in easy instalments. Get up to 25% scholarship.

04Who it’s for

Anyone aged 16 or above who wants a career in films: after 12th in any stream, during or after college, or when switching careers. No degree, prior experience or portfolio is needed – every course starts from the basics, and classes are taught mainly in Hindi.
