    About

    Program overview

    The MFA in Cinematic Arts program is designed to foster creative cinematic expression and production, with an emphasis on hybrid media and research models that integrate artistic practice with critical, theoretical and historical inquiry. The program recognizes cinematic art as a distinct discipline, with its own specializations, research questions and debates, discourses, theories, methodologies, pedagogies, systems of peer review and professional associations. The program positions cine-artists as producers of unique forms of aesthetic, material and theoretical knowledge, produced through practice-led research creation methodologies. As an umbrella discipline that holds within it different specializations, from cinematography, editing and writing through installation and augmented approaches to digitally mediated world, cinematic art is the ideal locus for experimentation in ground-breaking forms of practice-led knowledge production.
