Mission & Strategy

Our degree programs and one year program in filmmaking have been designed by professionals in the field. Our philosophy of « learning by doing » forms the core of our pedagogical approach to prepare students in all the aspects of production in an exercise based approach to classes where students master adapting technologies and learn by their mistakes. Our partnerships with local companies also give students the chance to pursue internships for credit and our international network of alumni and teachers make taking that next vital step to starting a career, a little more accessible.

The objective of our programs is to prepare students for the challenging but thrilling film industry workplace by making them polyvalent filmmakers capable of accepting any challenge.
