The School of Film/Video is one of the world’s foremost places for the study and practice of the art of the moving image as a personal, evolving, and innovative art form. With a variety of programs, students in the School of Film/Video work in all modes of moving image and sound-based artwork, including story and character-based work in live-action and animated cinema; essayistic, socio-political, and observational documentary projects in live-action, animation, installation, and hybrid forms; and poetic, lyrical, structural, and other modes of experimentation with the materials and forms of the moving image.
