Prof. Shaker himself has taken an active role in educating the students. Under his guidance, four major film projects have been planned, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of various filmmaking aspects.

The curriculum designed by AFA includes a series of progressive projects. Starting with a 1-minute advertisement film, students will then move on to creating a documentary, followed by a news piece. The program culminates with the students of the final year undertaking a short film project, preparing them for diverse challenges in the film industry.
