University of British Columbia, Department of Theatre and Film
Program Description
Founded in 1969, the UBC Film Production Program is one of the most established in Canada. The Program has produced many of Canada’s most successful filmmakers and industry leaders. The MFA in Film Production focuses on the areas of directing, screenwriting and producing for students who already have a comprehensive background in filmmaking and wish to pursue a specific creative or intellectual vision in an academic environment. The Program is very small and normally only 2-3 students are admitted each year. This total includes students in the Joint MFA in Film Production and Creative Writing.
The MFA is a two-year course of resident study. However, many students find it may take 3-4 years to complete the thesis requirement, as students must fund their thesis films entirely on their own. Notable alumni of the MFA in Film Production are celebrated filmmakers Bruce Sweeney, Lynn Stopkewich, Stephen Hegyes and recent graduate Gwen Haworth.
