Introduction
Bachelor of Fine Arts - Film
The Film program at NSCAD is one of the few programs in Canada
where you can use actual film. You will have an opportunity to explore the practice, history, theory, and analysis of film production and film art. With an emphasis on collaboration and innovation, you will be encouraged to embrace all elements of film production, from the technical craft to narrative, experimental, and documentary approaches to your own unique creative vision. This program’s emphasis on one-on-one instruction enables you to study independent film production models that focus on the art of cinema.
You will take courses in editing, production, cinematography, acting, and sound. Advanced Film Studios form the backbone of the program and provide superb expertise. Art History courses will inform your studio development, and hands-on experience will prepare you professionally.
The program has recently added a Red One camera to their resources. This in-demand camera model is used constantly in the professional industry of Halifax for feature films, music videos, national commercials, and television series.
