Program Description
The University of Iowa Masters of Fine Arts degree in Film and Video Production focuses on all aspects of artisanal film and video. This program combines creative and scholarly coursework aimed at developing the candidate’s ability to produce effective artistic work in film and video. Students are encouraged to explore all modes of film and video production, including experimental, documentary and narrative film and video. This exploration takes place within a strong scholarly environment and candidates should expect to spend at least one third of their time in non-production courses building historical, critical and theoretical approaches that both inform their work and prepare them for creative and academic career paths. In the first two years, students take coursework developing their creative and scholarly background; the third year is devoted to a thesis film/video project of about 30 minutes in length.
