The Master in Film, (MFA) is a 54 credit program, which prepares students to be professionals in dissecting the film and television production and learn the process of media programming.
CCNY’s MFA Program in Film has been called by The New York Times, “one of New York’s best kept secrets.” Our students have won student Oscars and Emmys, and have been invited to numerous prestigious films festivals such as Cannes, Sundance, Edinburgh, Berlin, London, Moscow, Munich, Tribeca, Rotterdam, and South By Southwest. We are very proud of our students and we continue to support their efforts and applaud their successes long after graduation.
The M.F.A. program mentors a small, selective group of students to become the next generation of original voices in independent filmmaking. We foster the creation of compelling, daring, and visually stimulating short films in documentary or fiction. Ours is a hands-on program where students workshop their ideas in the field, directing their own short films and crewing on those of classmates.
Ideal student students are those passionate about the documentary form and recognize it as a vehicle for creative, original storytelling and social change. Our program attracts and supports students from all over the world from a variety of cultural backgrounds; the diversity and international nature of our program seems to exceed that of virtually any other film school.
