The Master of Fine Arts in Documentary Film & Video at Stanford University is a highly selective, two-year graduate program housed in the Department of Art & Art History that trains filmmakers to create socially engaged, artistically compelling nonfiction cinema. The curriculum combines hands-on production practice with rigorous theory, history, and critical studies, preparing graduates for careers as documentary directors, producers, media artists, and educators. Stanford films have screened at major festivals (Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca), been broadcast on PBS and Op-Docs, and earned more Student Academy Awards in the documentary category than any other university.
