Film

The SCA Film program combines rigorous technical training and skills development with extensive instruction in cinema studies and history. Students draw on courses throughout the School to deepen their understanding of other artistic disciplines – an understanding we consider essential to the creative life of every successful film and media artist.

BFA students learn by making their own films and videos in each year of their program starting in the first semester. Students work closely with instructors in small classes. Our program is collaborative and cohort-based, and this is one of our greatest strengths. Students’ success comes from working together with their peers and faculty in the School and with professionals in the wider world.

We maintain a close relationship with national and regional festivals, federal and provincial media agencies, broadcasters, labs, post-houses, sound houses, and industry professionals. Students develop expertise and contacts through visiting artists and sessional instructors who teach advanced professional skills.
