Curriculum

The Department of Film, Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television, New York University Tisch School of the Arts Asia, offers an intensive three-year conservatory that trains students in the art of cinematic storytelling. The school focuses on helping writer/directors develop a narrative voice and the technical virtuosity to express that voice in cinema. The school's students learn by doing – writing scripts, directing and producing films and exercises, shooting and crewing on each other's projects. At the completion of the program, students earn a Master of Fine Arts degree in film.

The Film program at Tisch School of the Arts Asia encompasses both fiction and documentary filmmaking. Each semester, courses in screenwriting, directing, aesthetics, acting, cinematography, editing, producing, and sound design compliment specific filmmaking projects that provide hands-on training.

The M.F.A. program features award-winning international faculty and outstanding production facilities, all situated against the backdrop of Singapore, one of the most exciting and dynamic regions in Asia. Admission to the program is highly selective, enrolling only 36 new students per year. For more information, go to http://www.tischasia.nyu.edu.sg.
