The Master in Cinema is an advanced training in contemporary cinema, allowing students to develop their creative and technical skills based on individual projects.
Over the two years, students will be able to choose a specific focus of work - whether "classic" cinema, or installation projects - while being immersed in contemporary artistic thinking, challenged to understand the different modalities of moving images and how cinema reflects on the world.
