How is York different from other film schools?

How is York different from other film schools?

Our program is distinctive due to:

  • The extent and variety of our curricular offerings, the combination of writing, theory and practice refined over the 50 years of our existence and constantly kept abreast of the changes brought to the field by new technologies
  • A tightly knit community based on experiential group learning and mentorship which is made of the extraordinary talent, inventiveness and commitment of our students
  • The rich knowledge base of our faculty, who are practicing award-winning filmmakers and prominent film scholars
  • Cross-listed courses with other areas such as Production Design, as well as acting and directing that are offered in conjunction with the Department of Theatre
  • Field placements are available for both BFA & BA students in their senior years
