Film Animation

Why study Film Animation?

Discover and articulate your unique artistic personality as you master an incredibly adaptable art form. This rigorous, versatile program will give you a solid foundation in the art of frame-by-frame filmmaking from professor-practitioners connected to a community of working animators in Montreal and around the world. Our approach to animation emphasizes cross-pollination and experimentation.

You'll graduate with the knowledge and discipline to think critically about your work, and your experience working independently on all aspects of film animation production will set you up for successful collaboration with others in the industry.

With an Oscar win, ten nominations, and hundreds of prestigious awards won by past and present faculty and students, we're proud of the international acclaim our alumni enjoy as directors, producers, editors, and designers of the world's most creative animation.

Our students have gone on to become some of the world's leading independent animation filmmakers. Many work with the National Film Board of Canada or with animation studios and visual effects companies around the world. Your degree can also lead to career paths such as:

• Animation Director
• Storyboard artist
• Character designer
