MFA IN FILM

AT THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK

Our intensive two-year MFA in Film is the only graduate-level program of its kind, offering a full immersion in both Documentary and Fiction filmmaking at an affordable and accessible public university. We are an international filmmaking community in the heart of Harlem, and our students have ready access to the finest talent, locations, and production facilities of New York City.

Our faculty of award-winning filmmakers is dedicated to mentoring a talented, selective group of students to become the next generation of original voices in independent film. We foster the creation of compelling, daring, and visually stimulating short films in documentary and fiction. Our students have won numerous student Oscars and Emmys and their films have been official selections at Sundance, Tribeca, Berlin, and Venice Film Festivals.

STUDY FICTION AND NONFICTION FILMMAKING

Our students are passionate about filmmaking as vehicles for original storytelling and social change. We encourage our filmmakers to take creative risks and tell meaningful stories that reflect the human experience. Our program is unique in that we put equal emphasis on fiction and nonfiction filmmaking.

Our nonfiction curriculum is augmented by the Documentary Forum @ CCNY, a bi-weekly evening program of free film screenings, guest lectures, panel discussions and hands-on workshops pertaining to documentary, open to the public.
