It offers BA (Hons) Filmmaking and MA Filmmaking degrees affiliated to JNAFAU, plus certificate courses. The official site states that it is managed by the Akkineni Film and Media Education Society. The official site does not publish a college establishment year; the 1975 date refers to Annapurna Studios, not ACFM. Target-year 2026-27 evidence was not explicitly identified on the pages reviewed.
