Your Film Career Starts Here

Study animation, documentary, dramatic, and experimental filmmaking in the Film Production Program, while gaining a solid grounding in film studies and history. Small classes allow hands-on experience working with advanced camera, sound and lighting equipment. 

Enhance your writing, research, and analytical skills within the Film Studies Program, with a specific emphasis on understanding the impact of cinema on our daily lives. There is considerable room for incorporating minors or pursuing certificates in areas like Animation, Film Production or Photography, or even opting for a double major. This not only enhances the scope of your program but also adds additional value to your degree.

Whichever option you choose, the award-winning faculty members of the Department of Film will help ensure your choice is right.

  • Develop your unique voice in a production medium or studies area in our collaborative environment and close-knit community
  • Collaborate with students and faculty from across the University to develop complex responses to art, culture, and technology in an era of convergence 
  • Develop your skills as a programmer and curator of film by participating in the Living Skies Film Festival, one of the longest-running student film festivals in Canada.
