Since 2013, Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Yogyakarta has received a mandate from the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education (at that time) to assist the establishment of a pilot Indonesian Institute of Arts and Culture in East Kalimantan located in Tenggarong, Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan. For the initial stage of establishment, 4 Study Programs (Prodi) were opened, namely; Craft Prodi, Dance Prodi, Ethnomusicology Prodi, and Film and Television Prodi.
In the initial year of lectures, ISBI students were 'entrusted' at the ISI Yogyakarta campus for the teaching and learning process with full scholarships from the Kaltim Cemerlang Scholarship provided by the East Kalimantan Provincial government. The number of students in the Film and Television Study Program on the main campus is 63 students, with details: class of 2013 totaling 22 students, class of 2014 totaling 29 students, and class of 2015 totaling 12 students, most of whom have graduated and a small number are currently taking their final project.
