You want to express yourself, and you know that making films is the way to do it. With the top-rated education, professional technology and world-class faculty, there is no limit to your filmmaking potential. And it all starts on day one as a film degree student.
Consistently ranked one of Variety’s “Best Film Schools,” the award-winning Film, Video, Animation, and New Genres department is the best place to pursue your dream of being a filmmaker. They're experts at helping you develop your creative, conceptual, and technical abilities. That means you don’t simply earn a technical degree. You earn a fully immersive, creative, time-based, and cinematic production degree that sets you up for success as a creative thinker, an informed viewer, and an art maker — someone whose imaginative skills are matched by your ability to use technology and the craft of cinema to express something meaningful.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Film immerses you in every aspect of the filmmaking process to better understand how every role works together. They teach all aspects of film production equally, so you graduate fully versed in cinematography, sound recording, editing, directing, producing, videography, idea development, and more. The program also teaches all film genres – narrative, documentary, animation, experimental, or a blend of any of these. Think of yourself as a one-person production company, totally prepared to enter the film industry or other creative communities.
