I just recently (last week!) decided to apply to a number of film MFA programs. The ones I am applying to are interdisciplinary, with a big focus on theory (they all require a written thesis, as well as a lot of visual work). I am an experimental film/installation/conceptual artist, with the goal of one day attending a PhD program in Film Studies and becoming a professor.

Anyone else out there doing something similar?
Anyone applying to film MFAs with different goals?

Applying:
MA/PhD - UC Berkeley, Northwestern
MFA - San Francisco State University, University of Iowa, UW-Milwaukee
MA - University of Chicago, The New School, Universiteit van Amsterdam

Hi Anastasya --I am just finishing up an MA in media studies at The New School & have applied to a couple of MFAs for fall. If you have questions about TNS I'd be happy to share my experience in the program there.

Ohio University used to have a pretty good film program, both an MFA and an MA. My husband completed his MFA there. The MA program is more theory based, and they focus quite a bit on experimental film. I cannot say much about the program now, as there has been quite a bit of turnover of professors.
