Vancouver's economy heavily relies on film production, a trend seen in metropolitan areas worldwide. For more than four decades, UBC has cultivated many of Canada's (and the world's) most talented filmmakers and technical experts. The MFA in Film Production emphasizes directing, screenwriting, and producing narrative or documentary films, catering to experienced filmmakers seeking to refine their artistic or conceptual approach within an academic setting. UBC's Film Production Program aims to enhance students' creative, intellectual, and technical abilities as they transition into professional film careers. The curriculum combines foundational film theory with hands-on production experience. While BFA and Diploma students create and collaborate on multiple films during the program, MFA candidates complete an original film as their final project.
