Outline
This unique MFA degree is jointly taught between Edinburgh College of Art and Paris College of Art. The programme explores independent film-making through creative collaborative practice combined with reflection and research in contemporary cinema. You will specialise in fiction, experimental or expanded forms of film-making.
You will study in two art schools with strong traditions of film education which are connected to thriving creative industries in European capital cities. Drawing on this artistic context, the programme supports you to push the boundaries of narrative film-making and delve into interdisciplinary approaches to cinema as you create a festival ready thesis film across two years.
You will be part of a cohort of filmmakers, supporting each other’s learning through an international exchange of ideas, peer-feedback and research driven practical experimentation.
The programme recognizes and celebrates an expansive understanding of film, its audience and the sites and contexts in which it can be presented. Supported by a range of teaching activities, practical exercises and individual tutorials, you will make films that foreground innovation and a commitment to examining form and content.
Our tutors are acclaimed filmmakers and artists, currently working in the industry as:
- Directors
- Producers
- Cinematographers
- Editors
- Sound Designers
The programme structure reflects our professional expertise, with the development, creation and completion of your thesis film project mimicking industry structures and preparing you to embark on a successful film career upon completion of the degree.
