Mestrado em Artes em Cinema e Mídia

Gain real-world experience, explore emerging technologies, learn business and creative practices, and make industry connections that will put you on a path to telling stories that matter.

Are you eager to tell meaningful cinematic stories? To spotlight voices that have long been ignored? Excited about the emerging technologies that put users at the heart of the story and content creators at the forefront of innovation? Do you want to create projects that change the world?

Whether your interests lie in screenwriting, producing, sound editing, or in mastering creative technologies like AR, VR and AI, forging a career in today’s entertainment and film industry takes special talent, plus an insider’s understanding of the business and creative practices needed to succeed.

You’ll find all that and more in Johns Hopkins University’s innovative MA in Film and Media program, which offers a cutting-edge curriculum, hands-on learning, and invaluable interaction with seasoned industry professionals.

Through our four concentrations—including the first-in-its-field Immersive Storytelling and Emerging Technologies—you’ll gain the skills and experience you need to tell stories with impact and find creative solutions for the problems that challenge us. And, you’ll learn alongside a diverse cohort of fellow future filmmakers in the heart of Baltimore, whose burgeoning art scene has close ties to New York, LA, and beyond.

Pursue Your Passion for Storytelling

Master the fundamentals and art of storytelling through viewings, discussion, script analysis, and workshops. You’ll cover feature-length films, sitcoms, documentaries, digital shorts, and more, creating your own original work. Learn about pitching, financing, marketing, and distribution.

Boost Your Technical Skills

Go behind the scenes and see what happens during development, production, and post-production. Explore all things audio: basic sound design, music editing, sound effects spotting, and more. Work with top-quality equipment and industry-standard software to bring your storytelling to life.

Gain Real-World Experience

The centerpiece of your time at JHU will be the Graduate Filmmaking Studio I and II courses, a two-semester, hands-on experience where original, meaningful, and compelling movies are born. You’ll develop your own film projects with insight and input from your classmates, learn how to build and connect with an audience, and explore the many ways to build a sustainable creative career.

Experiment and Take Risks

We’ve been encouraging experimentation since this graduate program began in 2015. Perhaps that’s most evident in our newest concentration—Immersive Storytelling and Emerging Technologies—which puts you at the forefront of creating cutting-edge entertainment and educational experiences using virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and other keystone technologies.
