The Film Academy Baden-Württemberg has been home to Animationsinstitut since 2002. The Institute is one of the world’s leading institutions in the fields of animation and interactive media.

Europe’s unique Ludwigsburg Media Campus is spread across two neighbouring sites, which separate the Film Academy (with its Animationinstitut) from the Academy of Performing Arts Baden-Württemberg and the Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris.

This closeness results in several interdisciplinary collaborations which characterise programmes of study at the Film Academy in the same way as its wide range of international programmes, which are continuously redeveloped. During their studies, about ¼ of students take part in an international exchange with partners in such countries as Argentina, France, the USA, Canada, Poland, Lebanon, South Africa, or Israel.
