Stanford’s documentary film program to get a forum in France

Jan Krawitz, professor and director of the MFA program in documentary film and video, will be jetting off to Biarritz, France, in January with two second-year graduate students to participate in the 2014 Festival International de Programmes Audiovisuels (FIPA) film festival. Stanford’s graduate program is one of only five film schools around the globe to be selected for the New Talents section at the festival, and this is the first-ever American program to be included since the inception of the section, which includes documentaries, fiction, animation and experimental films directed by students.
