The environment in the MFA Film/Video program is highly personalized and intense, developing an informed perspective on film/video that is individual, political, conceptual, abstract, visceral, and visionary, combined with advanced skills in video and film production practices to make the vision real.
The Graduate Major Studio in the Film/Video MFA Program focuses on critiques of student work and discussion of various theoretical and contemporary issues in the moving image. The curriculum includes visits with nationally and internationally known film/video artists and curators.
Each semester, students may choose a Mentor Advisor from outside the department for consultation on a particular facet of their work. Other program opportunities include cross-registration with MIT and UMass Boston, internships, and teaching assistantships. In addition to screenings and Visiting Artist lectures, the City of Boston offers exceptional cultural, creative and intellectual resources for students.
