M.F.A. Documentary Film: Student Projects

Situated in the Department of Art & Art History as part of Stanford’s program in Film and Media Studies, the Master of Fine Arts program in documentary production provides a historical, theoretical, and critical framework within which students master the conceptual and practical skills for producing nonfiction film and video.

Students in the Documentary Film and Video M.F.A. program complete four major projects over the course of two years -- one each quarter of the first year (Fall, Winter, Spring), and a Thesis Project. A brief biography of the student and the projects completed are included for each year.
