Program Description
The Graduate Program in film/video at UWM is interdisciplinary, hands-on, and non-commercial in spirit with a commitment to the intensive production of high-energy media artwork. We have dedicated, internationally recognized faculty and a small and mutually supportive group of graduate students. The Film Department encourages works which demonstrate a personal commitment to the art of media making, projects marked not so much by any particular style but rather by the questions they explore. The Master of Fine Arts in Performing Arts - Film is designed for students who have already produced film or video and who would like to increase their film/video skills while creating a larger body of work. It is the goal of the program to assist each student in completing a number of accomplished works rooted in a developed sense of community, culture, and self.
The Film Department maintains artistic and intellectual connections within the University that include the Departments of Visual Art, Music, Anthropology and English as well as the internationally respected Center for Twenty-First Century Studies.
