Our Directing Cinema and Digital Media programme, taught in English, is built on a time-tested concept of master's-level education that has consistently delivered exceptional results. This unique programme combines the mastery of traditional film techniques with cutting-edge digital technologies, offering students a robust theoretical and historical foundation. We explore the latest trends in the industry, while focusing on nurturing each student’s growth as an original artist.

Our mission is to provide a comprehensive education that equips students with the skills and experience to thrive in their chosen fields, preparing them to confidently embark on successful careers. With a limited number of students per course, we offer a highly personalized approach that ensures each individual receives tailored guidance.

The Directing Cinema and Digital Media programme is designed for applicants who:

• Have a deep passion and experience in the field they wish to study
• Meet the specific requirements for the entrance tests for each specialization
• Have completed their bachelor’s degree or are in the final year of their undergraduate studies

Established in 2008, Directing Cinema and Digital Media is a three-year follow-up Master's programs for graduate students who already received a BA degree in Cinema or another field.

The students are selected for the program based on the evaluation of their talents and necessary skills level. The intentionally low number of students guarantees a personalized approach to every single student.

Programme Overview:

The program is built on the system of mentor-led workshops providing small groups of students (six or less) an intensive hands-on guidance on how to transform a creative idea into a  fully realized short film.

Tuition includes at least one short film production in every semester (year one and two) and final film (year three), using both digital (HDV, HDSLR and other) and analog (16 and 35 mm) technology, on location and in the school‘s own studio.

Alongside with that, students receive a number of compulsory and elective courses providing them with the necessary theoretical and practical tools associated with the work of the professional filmmaker.

Teachers and mentors in the program include full-time faculty from the eleven degree-granting departments of FAMU, as well as other artists, academics and film professionals as part-time faculty.

The program is complemented with additional elective courses, workshops, and modules – short intensive courses taught by professional guest artists, theorists, and visiting professors.
