Bachelor of Arts
The Film Major is a hybrid four-year program combining film theory, aesthetics, and practice. The program aims to graduate multi-skilled filmmakers, film practitioners, and researchers through comprehensive training and courses that adopt a cross-disciplinary approach to film theory and production, forming an integral vision of the film as a medium. The program offers extensive exposure to different film production crafts while staying up-to-date with the fast-changing film language. Our students are mentored by a team of masterful, award-winning, experienced, and diverse faculty of scholars, thinkers, filmmakers, and film practitioners who cover a wide range of disciplines in film studies and practice.
Knowledge exchange and cultural activities within the program are fostered through a solid local, regional, and international film-related network that also creates great opportunities for students to present their work locally and worldwide. Permanent interaction between students and faculty is highly encouraged and results in a dynamic learning environment that seeds the collective practice of filmmaking while motivating students to explore their singular cinematic voices.
