It is the first Bulgarian university in the field of theatre and film arts. It was founded in 1948, being the only public and state-run institution of its kind in the country.

The academy, welcoming about 120 new students a year (including 20 international students), is located in three neighbouring buildings in the centre of Sofia, and includes a Training Drama Theatre (since 1957), a Training Puppet Theatre (since 1966), a cinema and video hall and an educational audiovisual centre, as well as an academic information centre that stores 60,000 volumes of Bulgarian and international literature. NATFA has a student dormitory in Studentski grad.

As of 2006, new actors are taught by leading Bulgarian professors in acting in the classes of professors Stefan Danailov, Dimitrina Gyurova, Zdravko Mitkov, Margarita Mladenova, Plamen Markov, Snezhina Tankovska, and Atanas Atanasov.

gollark: True, true. I do think a focus on some specific stuff like networking would also be helpful.
gollark: People are going to *use computers*, which is why I think we should have teaching on stuff like solving random problems instead.
gollark: *Reading manuals.*
gollark: I think it would be much more useful to actually teach basic computer use. How to solve basic problems (application of the search engine). What all the various cables are for. Basic computer maintenence.
gollark: They also gave people custom hardware (micro:bits), which probably isn't great either since people won't realize you can just do programming stuff on a regular home computer or laptop to automate annoying tasks and whatnot.
