Program Overview Documentary films have helped shape our history and, more importantly, the stories we tell about ourselves. This program guides and supports emerging artists to explore fully the social documentary film form and, in so doing, to find innovative ways to examine and communicate the core experiences and events that define us. With the advent of digital filmmaking, the Internet and social networking, as well as the technologies available in camera, sound and editing?the potential to make films, and share them with an audience, has become accessible to almost everyone.

Working directly with some of the most relevant and inventive nonfiction storytellers and visual journalists?as faculty, mentors and collaborators?students will gain the creative and technical experience to work in the film and broadcast industries. Upon completion of their studies students will be equipped with the tools that both enable and support individual expression, while fostering filmmakers who are fluent artistically, technologically, socially and critically.
