Our unique MFA Film Art is jointly taught between Edinburgh College of Art and Paris College of Art. The programme explores independent film-making through creative collaborative practice combined with reflection and research in contemporary cinema. You will specialise in fiction, experimental or expanded forms of filmmaking.
You will study in two art schools with strong traditions of film education which are connected to thriving creative industries in European capital cities.
