The M.G.R. Government Film and Television Training Institute, some time ago known as the Adyar Film Institute, is an Indian film and TV preparing establishment. Built up in 1945 as Adyar Film Institute, it is one among the pioneer film organizations in India. It is in Tharamani, Chennai and is controlled by the Tamil Nadu State Government under the Department of Information and Public Relations. 

It offers four-year four year certification courses in Screenplay and Direction, Cinematography, Sound Recording and Sound Engineering, Film Editing and Film Processing, and elements of the administration. 

The recognitions are endorsed by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), while the testaments are granted by the Department of Technical Education, Government of Tamil Nadu. In 2006 it was renamed as M.G.R. Film and Television Training Institute, after previous Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M.G. Ramachandran (1917–1987), who was a conspicuous entertainer of Tamil cinema. 

In 1994, the administration began MGR Film City to make more filmmaking offices in the city. On 16 October 1997, Queen Elizabeth II visited MGR Film City and watched the shooting of Kamal Haasan's Tamil motion picture Marudhanayagam. The acting course that began in 1971, at the command of M.G.R., was ceased in 2002. Talks to restore the course have been on for a long time
