Kanbar Institute of Film and Television (Film Production)
M.F.A. In Film Production -- New York City campus, Tisch School of the Arts
An intensive three-year conservatory which trains students in the art of cinematic storytelling, with a focus on helping writer/directors develop a narrative voice and technical virtuosity. We also offer a cinematography and a producing track.
M.F.A. In Film Production -- Singapore campus, Tisch Asia
Our recently established Tisch Asia Singapore campus offers the same comprehensive training and filmmaking opportunities as its New York counterpart. All classes and training will be in English. Requirement for admission are the same as for the New York campus.
We invite candidates applying to the M.F.A. degree program in film production to examine both options before submitting their application.
NEW! M.F.A. In Animation and Digital Arts -- Singapore campus, Tisch Asia
Students are immersed in a unique creative environment that teaches the traditional forms of the art of animation and explores a sandbox of advanced techniques and digital technologies.
NEW! M.B.A./M.F.A. In Film Producing -- Stern School of Business/Tisch School of the Arts
A dual-degree three years plus program, involving coursework in both schools, and the producing of films made in the M.F.A. program.
The process of evaluating candidacy for admission to all of the above programs will be done solely at the Tisch School of the Arts in New York City. A filmmaking background is not a prerequisite for admission to the Tisch School of the Arts or Tisch Asia. We are looking for potential creative filmmaking ability as evidenced through visual and written material.
All applications for admission should be filed online. The resume and personal statement should be uploaded, and recommenders should use the online system as well. Transcripts should be gathered and sent in one single package to the office of Graduate Admissions. A creative portfolio package is required; the portfolio cannot be submitted online and should be received on or before the deadline.
