As a Film/Video student at MassArt, you will experiment across mediums and genres while developing your personal artistic vision.

Our Film/Video Department redefines what it means to be an artist working with the moving image. Our students are challenged to create new forms of viewing experiences that are personal, conceptual, abstract, political, visceral, and visionary.
