Languages Used. With the aim of creating job opportunities both locally and on an international level, the program makes a balanced use of three different languages – Italian, German and English. Overall course study is based on at least a 25% use of each language. That means that classes may be held in any of the three languages, which are considered the ZeLIG’s official languages. One of the requirements for admission to XxXXX’s three-year program in documentary filmmaking is linguistic proficiency: XxXXX students must be able to understand and communicate in all three of school’s official languages.
