Master of Film
March 2009 saw the launch of the Master’s Degree Programme in Film at the Netherlands Film and Television Academy (NFTA). This programme offers a select group of no more than fifteen filmmakers the opportunity for further personal development within an investigative, highly demanding and internationally oriented setting. Reflection is a pivotal aspect. Keywords are depth, breadth and innovation.
This is a two-year programme, running from January to January, which is open to all talented makers with a relevant bachelor’s degree, several years of experience in the field and an interesting study or research question. This study question also serves as the thread that runs throughout the programme. The programme is therefore largely question-driven.
In terms of its set-up, the programme is unique in its kind, both in the Netherlands and beyond. Its research-based perspective, select group of students and the diversity of their backgrounds, and its attention to other art forms and new media, lend the Netherlands Film and Television Academy’s master’s programme a highly individual identity. This profile is also in keeping with the contemporary context in which film and media makers operate.
Graduates of the programme are awarded the title ‘Master of Film’ (M Film). From January 2011, the programme will also be open to students from abroad. The Master course is in English.
