The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film emphasizes authorship in Film Production to empower graduates for lifelong success in a variety of filmmaking and screenwriting modalities. Working with a diverse faculty in an intensive tutorial environment, students author original works, collaborate with a creative team, and develop their personal voice. Graduates will leave equipped with a broad array of skills to compete in the film industry or continue their studies in graduate school.

Program Structure

The Film BFA is a limited-access, 4-year degree program that shares a cinema studies and production core with the Film B.A. program.

Once accepted, students can design a plan of study for different modalities in:

• Narrative filmmaking
• Documentary filmmaking
• Experimental filmmaking
• Screenwriting

As part of their Capstone experience, Film BFA students organize a curated exhibition of creative works from the Film B.A. and Film BFA degree programs.
