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. Students learn all stages of production, from concept to visual design, from directing to editing. They work with the most current equipment and technology, experiment with expanded platforms of digital media, and hold internships with local production companies.

Outsider art is in at the new Shoe Bones gallery in Salem
- Alumni in the News
- Film/Video
Journalist Roger Cardinal wrote a book titled “Outsider Art” in 1972, introducing the term to describe art that has an unfiltered, even unrefined quality. While Symonds wouldn’t consider herself an outsider artist due to receiving an art education from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, she said she became disillusioned with academic art and high-end commercial art. Establishing Shoe Bones was a way for Symonds to cultivate a welcoming community that is the antithesis of the strictness of formal art galleries.

“Rachel Maksy is a woman out of a time machine.
“The soft curls in her hair take inspiration from the 1950s; her wardrobe is a mix of corsets, homemade vests, tea-length skirts and vintage shoes; and she does all of the crafting projects that rocketed her to internet stardom in a small, 1800s-era shed in her back yard.
“With more than a million subscribers on YouTube and almost half that on Instagram, the Kingston native is more reserved than you’d expect from a woman whose weekly videos are watched by hundreds of thousands of people and whose talents recently caught the eye of Amazon Studios. Maksy was one of 50 online influencers from around the country recently chosen by the studio to create sponsored content promoting a series, “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” which premiered Thursday.”
