The Bachelor’s Degree in Film invites students to explore a constantly evolving field. Students develop as creators of stories, aesthetics, images, and sounds, supported by a strong foundation in cinematic language and contemporary forms of storytelling. The School of Film at the University of the Arts offers a degree program designed to prepare highly qualified professionals in film and the audiovisual arts. Students gain broad knowledge of the techniques, professional practices, history, languages, aesthetics, and contemporary critical frameworks associated with film and audiovisual creation, industry, and economics. To achieve this, the program combines research, critical analysis, production, artistic practice, and artistic creation, with an emphasis on contemporary forms and narratives. Its approach addresses the specific characteristics and needs of the local context, promotes intercultural dialogue, and recognizes the artistic production and critical thinking emerging from the Global South.
Graduates of the Film degree program will understand the history of world cinema and the place of Ecuadorian cinema within it. They will creatively apply a range of film analysis methods and develop skills in directing, producing, screenwriting, sound design, art direction, lighting, and production design for film and audiovisual projects across different formats, genres, and contexts. They will also be prepared to address key questions in film research, with an emphasis on contemporary approaches to cinema and audiovisual expression.
The School of Film faculty includes professionals with distinguished academic and artistic careers who specialize in the program’s core areas: theory and criticism, artistic production, writing, research, and the expanded field. This community includes filmmakers engaged in critical writing, critics who explore visual and audiovisual narratives, and researchers who construct and critically examine knowledge from interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives.
