2023-24 Performance Season: School of Filmmaking
UNCSA has announced its 2023-24 performance season for the School of Filmmaking.
The School of Filmmaking celebrates its 30th anniversary in the 2023-24 academic year. Championed by Chancellor Alex C. Ewing, the film school was established in 1993 as the fifth arts school at UNCSA and opened with 60 undergraduate students. It has since added graduate-level programs and a facility called the Studio Village, built to resemble and function like a film studio backlot, and “The Cube,” a space for experimentation with emerging technologies.
We are now embracing a dynamic range of cinematic storytelling forms including episodic, narrative fiction, nonfiction, animation, documentary and short form; as well as expansive technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and LED volume production.
Deborah LaVine, Dean of Filmmaking
“The School of Filmmaking was established 30 years ago because there was a real need for ‘complete’ filmmakers — experienced storytellers skilled in all facets of the moving image arts,” said Dean Deborah LaVine. “That is still true today, but the entertainment landscape has changed greatly. We are now embracing a dynamic range of cinematic storytelling forms including episodic, narrative fiction, nonfiction, animation, documentary and short form; as well as expansive technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and LED volume production.”
