What are the top film schools in Georgia?

I'm interested in pursuing a career in film and I'd love to know more about the best film schools in Georgia. Are there any specific programs or universities that stand out for film studies?

a year ago

There are a few universities in Georgia that have noteworthy film programs:

1. University of Georgia: Their Department of Theatre and Film Studies offers a BA in Film Studies, designed for students interested in the critical study of cinematic texts. They also offer a MA and PhD program in Film Studies for individuals who wish to delve deeper into the subject.

2. Georgia State University: They have a BA in Film and Media and an MFA in Film, Television, and Digital Media. The program has a strong focus on digital filmmaking and integrates film theory and history courses with technical skills.

3. Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD): SCAD offers a BFA, MA, and MFA in Film and Television. The programs integrate a robust understanding of film and television history with practical, hands-on skills so students can master the art of storytelling.

4. Emory University: The Film and Media Studies department at Emory University offers a BA program. This program bridges the divide between 'creative' and 'critical' approaches to film by combining film theory, history, and culture courses with technical and creative study.

When choosing a program, look beyond the curriculum—try to get a good sense of the resources available to students (such as state-of-the-art film production equipment or editing labs), faculty expertise, internship/employment opportunities, and alumni networks in the film industry. If possible, visit the campuses and talk with current students or recent graduates to get a sense of the experience and outcomes.
