Media — whether film, video, or newer digital technologies — are not simply techniques, but, more broadly, the defining elements of our culture and society. In recognition of this, the Department of Film, Video, and New Media was created from two previously separate departments, film and video. For over three decades, the two departments have remained centers of formal experimentation and critical investigation in film and video. These distinguished histories are the foundations on which the Department of Film, Video, and New Media was built as an interdisciplinary media production and studies program.

The department's faculty reflect the many diverse approaches to experimental film, video, and media making, including animation, nonfiction, narrative, installation, interactivity, and web-based work. Internationally distinguished artists, critics, historians, and curators regularly visit through the department's visiting artists program.

UNDERGRADUATE Program
BFA Degree Program
FVNM's undergraduate curriculum is designed to offer students a flexible set of interdisciplinary theory and practice seminars and disciplinary course sequences. FVNM believes that critical and theoretical issues cannot be separated from the technical issues of media production. To that end, it has introduced a core sequence of interdisciplinary theory and practice seminars, Media Practices, as a forum to explore older and new combinations of moving-image technologies within the context of critical debate and collaboration. These seminars bring together students working in a variety of narrative forms, installation, animation, nonfiction, new media, and other areas of independent media. At the same time, students choose to concentrate in one or more of these production tracks: Film, Video, Installation, New Media, Animation, and Nonfiction media. READ MORE

The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Studio program provides students who have an undergraduate degree with an opportunity to expand their work in a large professional fine arts school environment. The two-semester program is designed to help students develop their artistic vision and technical proficiency and produce a strong body of work for the purpose of graduate admissions. READ MORE

GRADUATE Program
MFA Degree Program
The graduate department curriculum covers a wide range of critical and technical issues. Working closely with the graduate adviser of their choice, students are encouraged to create a course of study informed by their own goals for their work as artists. Considerable weight is given to a student's establishing a theoretical and historical context for understanding their work, the work of other artists, and the work of media in general. READ MORE
