The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and Film with a concentration in filmmaking will expose you to working photographers, filmmakers and industry trends through seminars, guest lectures, field trips and workshops. Your courses will include both theoretical study and hands-on experience in the fields of fiction, documentary and experimental filmmaking.
You’ll have access to Super 8mm, 16mm and digital cameras and sound technology, and graduate with a number of films that you’ve written, produced, shot, directed, edited and publicly screened.
