Master en Cinéma et Télévision

The Master of Film and Television offers you intensive, studio-based training in writing, directing and editing of your own productions, with complementary studies in research methods, screen language and technical crewing.

Across two years you will write, direct and edit three films in your chosen specialisation. The film duration and production parameters are extended as you move through the course and are aimed at facilitating the development of your unique, creative voice as a screen director.

The course features studio based intensive classes with a range of industry guest lecturers, as well as regular ‘insiders’ Q&A sessions with visiting filmmakers. In addition to directing your own projects you will be required to crew on your peer group productions, a process that develops creative collaboration and effective communication skills as a director. This production experience is crucial to providing you with the skills and confidence to maintain your directorial vision within the challenging environment of film and television production.

At the Victorian College of the Arts, we are committed to providing a deep and transformative learning experience in pursuit of artistic excellence and innovation. As part of the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, we offer an absorbing, conservatoire and atelier-based education that fosters critical confidence and creative risk-taking.

In choosing to study with us, you will be welcomed by a community of practicing artists and writers, choreographers, designers, performers, actors, filmmakers, dancers and many more, all committed to the production of new work and the belief in the power of the artistic mind to effect change.

Whether you are primarily studying visual art, film and television, the performing arts, or one of the many specialisations within those areas, we encourage you to explore and experiment with other disciplines. For all of our undergraduate, graduate or short-course programs, we place a premium on the development of skill and facility.
