Film Study Abroad?

I am a filmmaker starting my 3rd yr, studying directing at Columbia College Chicago & I am very seriously thinking about studying abroad in spring '08. I applied to a school in London a few months ago but was not accepted. I looked online and found hundreds of different film schools in different countries but don't know which would really fit what i'm looking for, so:

- I'm hoping to get some credits to transfer, so i'd prefer if it wasn't like a simple 2month diploma course
- I would like to leave there with some kind of a sample, a minute or two short at least.
- I have a more than basic knowledge of film and the industry and would like to actually learn something and not just repeat basics
- i would love it if i could actually concentrate on studying directing

As for destination - sth fun, i'm thinking europe (i have a US and UE citizenships) but i'm also thinking Austalia/New Zealand.
- oh, and i'd like them to teach in english.

i ask a lot, i know. any suggestions?

Bond University in Australia have quite a good Centre for Film, Television and Screen Based Media. Try the following link:

Or there's the International Film School in Sydney:

Or how about a summer school course at one of Australia's top universities:
http://www.summerfilmschool.com/
That last one gets my vote!

Good luck.

I know you didn't get into that one London school, but there are others. If you're into the UK, then you can try:

- National Film and Television School
- London Film School

Two top UK film schools, with NFTS being the better of the two.

Other UK programs that I've heard good things about are:

- The Royal College of Art (London)
- Bournemouth University
- Napier University
- London College of Communication

As for transferring credits - that's not so easy. The British model of education runs completely differently from that of the US. You may not be able to transfer credits - they don't run on a credit model.

I also like the idea of Australia, which the other poster suggested. Australia is another country with a strong domestic film industry.
