Film School Consortium

NSCAD University's major in film production allows students to explore film as an art form while preparing for the complex industry of filmmaking. With a focus on hands-on learning, the program weaves together currents of dramatic, documentary and experimental film practice. In collaborative projects, students rotate among many roles: writing, acting, directing, producing, cinematography, production design, editing, and sound design. Assignments progressively challenge students to create more ambitious work while gaining experience in location and studio processes, leading to a final-year thesis project.

Facilities include:

• The Academy Building Film School, 25,000 square feet
• 3,000 square foot soundstage, equipped with acoustic baffling
• 16 mm film equipment and analogue optical printers
• high-end digital video cameras (both HD and 4K )
• edit suites
• professional lighting and grip equipment
• growing prop and set collection
  

Students also have access to six scholarships worth $7000.00 in cash and services to complete their thesis films.
