Film

The Brooklyn College Film Department prepares students for careers in the motion picture industry through hands-on learning, collaboration, and a balance of aesthetic and technical training. With concentrations in film studies, production, screenwriting, documentary, and industry studies, students learn from faculty who are active directors, screenwriters, producers, editors, cinematographers, and scholars. The program offers a strong liberal arts foundation in film history, theory, and practice, while also providing practical industry insight. Students gain expertise in production processes, the creative role of technology, and cinema’s cultural and historical contexts. Internships across New York City and access to Brooklyn’s vibrant film scene add real-world experience—all at a fraction of the cost of other leading film programs.
