Film and Television Institute of India, Pune

The Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) is located in the grounds of erstwhile Prabhat Studios, comprising a number of buildings standing in 21 acres of land. The entire property including a sizeable amount of motion picture equipment and properties was acquired by the Government of India for a sum of Rs. 11.20 lacs in April 1960. The FTII was established by the Government of India in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in 1960 on the recommendation of the Film Enquiry Committee. The aim was to impart training in the art and techniques of film making. The syllabus and the study courses were decided upon the advice of Remy Tessonneau, Director of the Paris Institute des Hautes Etudes Cinematographiques (IDHEC). He visited Pune in March, 1961 to prepare a draft outline for teaching of five courses: Screen-play, writing-cum-Direction, Motion Picture Photography, Sound Recording and Editing. Regular courses were started from 1961. Television Training Wing which started functioning in 1971 in New Delhi moved to Pune in October 1974. The FTII became a society under the Registration of Societies Act of 1860 in the month of October. It was fully aided by the Government of India, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
