What will I learn?

The Bachelor of Fine Arts, Major in Film allows students to explore film as an art form while preparing for the complex industry of filmmaking. With a focus on hands-on learning, the program weaves together currents of dramatic, documentary and experimental film practice. In collaborative projects, students rotate among many roles: writing, acting, directing, producing, cinematography, production design, editing and sound design. Assignments progressively challenge students to create more ambitious work while gaining experience in location and studio processes, leading to a final-year thesis project.
