WA Screen Academy is a film and media education institution at Edith Cowan University in Perth that trains students in screen production and related fields. It offers editing suites, television studios, and digital equipment for practical hands-on work throughout the program.
The institution was founded in 2005 and joined CILECT, the International Association of Film and Television Schools, in 2016. This membership recognized it as one of five Australian schools in this global professional network at that time.
The school works closely with regional filmmakers and international festivals, creating a space where students engage with working professionals. This connection to the broader film world shapes how students understand their craft and future careers.
The teaching program runs for approximately 40 weeks from February to November and is divided into blocks aligned with the academic term. You can explore the campus during regular hours, and those interested in studying should contact the university directly for admission details.
The school partners with the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, creating an unusual bridge between film students and theater professionals. This collaboration allows projects where video production and live performance intersect in unexpected ways.
