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 twelve filmmakers and media artists the opportunity for further personal development within an investigative, highly demanding and internationally oriented setting. Reflection is a pivotal aspect. Keywords are research and development.

This is a two-year programme, running from January to January, which is open to all moving image makers with a relevant bachelor's degree, several years of experience in the field and an interesting research or development question. This research 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 is open to students from abroad. The Master course is in English.

What's most inspiring about the course, thusfar, is meeting all these different professionals who are eager to share their knowledge with you. The course feeds my desire for knowledge.  Read more about Sonja and other students 2010-2012.
