Film School details

The Center for Documentary Studies cofounded Duke University’s first Master of Fine Arts program, the Master of Fine Arts in Experimental and Documentary Arts (MFA|EDA) program, which brings together the documentary approach and experimental production in analog, digital, and computational media. This unique two-year program fosters collaborations across disciplines and media as it trains sophisticated, creative art practitioners.

The philosophy of the program is guided by a belief in the intersection of personal artistic work with interpretive knowledge and of the relevance of the individual documentary/experimental artist within the cultural history and life of communities. A key component of the program is the notion of creative engagement through the arts and the role of the artist in society.

Hello! I am considering different MFAs to apply to and have come across Duke's Experimental Documentary Film Programme. Does anyone know how this compares to a programme like Chapman that seems to be less academic?

Would be great to hear any reflections from someone who has attended this programme!
Has anyone heard back from Duke yet? I apply to Duke Experimental Documentary yet but haven't heard anything back.

Hi!The interview was good! They were rly nice and only asked me why do I want to go to Duke. And then just asked me to ask them questions. And they gave me 12200 dollars for the second and third semester TA job and 10000 per year scholarship. But I might still want to go Calarts. I'm still thinking about that.
