The Film Production Program in the Faculty of Fine Arts at Concordia University has an established reputation as one of the best Canadian university concentrations in filmmaking. Courses give students a perspective in the aesthetics of creation and provide them with a comprehensive knowledge of the mechanics involved in producing motion pictures. Using the medium as a means of cultural expression, they learn how to find the cinematic equivalent for their ideas, for stories they like, or for topics with which they are concerned.
This program is intended for students with a mature outlook, who possess knowledge of visual arts culture and an ability to articulate their ideas about film as an independent art form. This program provides students with multiple perspectives on the aesthetics of cinema. It offers comprehensive knowledge of the mechanics involved in producing motion pictures. Film is viewed as a method of artistic expression and students are encouraged to explore the various cinematic techniques, which will give shape to their ideas. The program includes composite filmmaking courses, technical aspects classes, as well as seminars that explore the process and artistic practice of filmmaking. All genres are explored and supported.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
