Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know French in order to go to the international programs?
No. Our BFA, MFA, One Year Filmmaking programs and our summer workshops, “Making a Short” and “Writing a Short” are taught in English. The school nevertheless provides French classes as part of the degree programs to help you to immerge into French culture.
When is the admissions period?
Admissions begins in late October and is rolling but usually goes until early summer depending on places that remain.
What kind of student attends the international department programs? Who are you looking for?
We are looking for potential filmmakers from all over the world from a variety of different backgrounds. The typical candidate is a non traditional student looking for practical immersion in filmmaking and the chance to work on their craft. The average student has little prior experience in filmmaking but presents him or herself with a letter of motivation, demonstrating their passion and seriousness as well as their long term goals.
