Sarah Lawrence College’s filmmaking and moving-image arts (FMIA) is a rigorous intellectual and creatively vibrant program where students are free to select classes without the confinement of majors. Through a wide range of classes, we offer students the opportunity to imagine themselves as a community of storytellers who are willing to take risks and break boundaries. With classes in screenwriting for film and television and hands-on production courses in narrative fiction, documentary/nonfiction, experimental, and animated film, students define and resolve artistic, historical, and analytical problems on their own while also learning to work in collaboration.

Latest Film School Reviews

Sarah Lawrence is Great!
Reviewed by: Alumni
Degree: BA/BS/BFA
Concentration: Film (focus on screenwriting) and Italian
Pros
  • Flexible Curriculum
  • Small Classes
  • Ability to work closely with professors
  • A lot of film resources for a small liberal arts school
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Food on campus is not good
  • Student community can be cliquey
Sarah Lawrence has a very unique approach to learning, with a focus on small class seminars and one on one projects completed with professors. This approach carries over into film classes, with most being small group classes focused on completing specific projects. I really enjoyed all my film classes there, especially my screenwriting courses, which were run like writing workshops. I also love that SLC gives you the opportunity to explore classes in other subject matters beside your main area of focus, since we do not have declared majors. Since the school is small, sometimes groups can be a bit cliquey, with everyone having their set friend group. I don’t think the culture of the school would be for everyone, but I really enjoyed it there. Nice to have a beautiful campus so close to NYC as well.
