Morphology
The meaning 'an educational institution for filmmaking' is directly and transparently built from 'film' (movie) + 'school' (educational institution); a learner who knows both words can compose the sense easily. This noun–noun compound pattern is common cross-linguistically (e.g., escuela de cine, école de cinéma) and follows regular English compounding, so it is predictable for B1 learners.
Etymology
Film school The name film school comes from putting film ('movies') and school ('a place to learn') together. Imagine students on a set with a camera, lights and a script learning how to make movies, so film school means 'a school for learning how to make movies'.
