I had mine on the 20th and they asked where I see myself in the future (because I'm an international student), why I want to come to AFI, what AFI can provide me/what I expect out of AFI, why I want to study abroad, why i picked cinematography (out of all the other departments), about my experience shooting one of my narrative examples and asked if I have any questions about AFI. The conversation was quite relaxed, because the interviewers kept the conversation going smoothly. I'm not sure if I remember everything they asked but those were the main questions I remembered. It lasted about 23 minutes, I was let in almost immediately at my allotted time and we finished a little before the 30 minutes was up.
I spoke to an alumni before my interview, and he said they also often ask about your narrative examples, how you achieved your lighting/composition/artistic vision etc. In previous years they have also asked about your favourite book/book genre. In general they are interested in who you are as a person, your style and what your eye is like. I was encouraged to not be shy, to be sure of what I'm saying and speak calmly.
It was over very quickly, and although I was nervous - the conversation still felt good and open because my interviewers were very calm and talkative also.
