THE PROGRAM
The School of Visual Arts’ MFA program in documentary filmmaking
provides a solid foundation in the fundamentals of nonfiction
filmmaking, as well as an immersion into the critical and analytical
processes necessary to conceptualize and develop significant,
socially relevant film projects. This program represents the
convergence of journalism, social activism and the art of
filmmaking.

Within the broad spectrum, a documentary film can be personal,
revolutionary, engaging, funny, political and more; simply put,
social documentary films tell us more about ourselves and the world
we inhabit. Working with documentarians at the top of their field as
teachers and mentors in a collaborative think-tank environment, the
MFA Documentary Film program at SVA will not only teach students how
to tell a story; it will guide them towards lifelong careers in
filmmaking.

The first year of study offers a core curriculum devoted to exploring
the past, present and future of the art of documentary film while
mastering tools and techniques needed to tell compelling stories. In
the first year each student will complete a few documentary shorts.
During the entire second year the student focuses on their thesis
film, and courses are designed to support them in their production.
Each student will direct and edit his or her own thesis film and
serve as a key production crewmember on at least one other thesis
project.

FACULTY
Core courses in directing, producing, editing, visionary journalism,
cinematography and sound are taught by some of the most significant
filmmakers in documentary today. Additionally, a weekly Process &
Style screening and lecture series will welcome yet more voices from
the field. Visit http://www.mfasocdoc.sva.edu for a full list of
faculty and guest lecturers.

The department is located in the heart of Manhattan on 21st Street
