CalArtsFilmandVideo

The School of Film/Video is one of the world's premiere colleges for studying the art of the moving image. As a community, we are devoted to filmmaking as a personal, independent art form. The school is unique in that it promotes the studies of all major types of film and video work: dramatic narrative, documentary, experimental live-action, character-based animation, experimental animation, multimedia, live performance, and installation. We offer four programs, each with its own highly specialized curriculum. At the same time, all four share an ethos in combining rigorous practical training with theoretical inquiry, hands-on production with bold aesthetic exploration.
