Welcome to the School of Film and Photography (formerly Department of Media & Theatre Arts)! ( 12/09/08)

Our department offers hands-on production programs for students seeking a Bachelor of Arts in Motion Picture/Video/Theatre (Film) or Photography, and the world's first Master of Fine Arts in Science & Natural History Filmmaking.

Located in Visual Communications Building (also home to Montana PBS) at the corner of 11th Str. and Grant in Bozeman, Montana, we offer excellent film and photography laboratories, studios, analog and digital facilities, and a new Black Box Theater. This brand new 200-seat theater has balcony and projection capability, an events lobby, box office, set construction, storage, loading facilities, costume construction and storage, green room and dressing rooms. Watch the Building of the Black Box by Bill Neff.

Our department maintains a high academic standard for the film and photography programs by offering challenging courses in a positive and engaging environment. Our students have the opportunity to collaborate with our faculty to gain valuable experience in preparation for professions in film, photography, television, and theatre. Our programs emphasize learning through experience by spending many hours in production and state of the art labs. Through the years, we have established a national reputation as a center where young people successfully prepare for careers in their chosen area of specialization. Read more about awards by our film and photography students and faculty.

The goal of the School of Film & Photography is to dedicate itself to excellence in instruction in order to prepare our students for unique career opportunities in film and photography. The department works to further increase our reputation by graduating academically qualified students, by encouraging student and faculty production and development, and by promoting the success of specific outreach programs affiliated to the department (i.e. Montana Shakespeare in the Parks and Hatchfest).

We preserve the highest quality of education for our students by implementing GPA gates based on performance in freshman courses thereby allowing only a limited number of students to continue in both our Photography and MPVT film program.

We invite you explore our web site in order to investigate the three programs in more detail. For more information or to arrange a campus visit, please do not hesitate to contact us at sfp@montana.edu or call (406) 994-2484.
