Stanford University MFA in Documentary Film
Program Description
Situated in the Department of Art & Art History, the M.F.A. in documentary production provides a historical, theoretical, and critical framework within which students master the conceptual and practical skills for producing nonfiction film and video. The M.F.A. degree is designed to prepare students for professional careers in film, video, and digital media. It also allows students to teach at the university level. The philosophy of the program is predicated on a paradigm of independent media that values artistic expression, aesthetics, social awareness, and an articulated perspective. Students become conversant with the documentary tradition as well as with alternative media and new directions across genres. Students produce and direct four films in the two-year curriculum. The studies courses provide an intellectual and theoretical framework within which creative work is realized. Films made by graduates include Freeheld, Rape of Europa, Romantico, and Day After Trinity.
