The only program of its kind in Central Florida, our Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in film focuses on the integration of theoretical, historical, and cultural application of film.
Through courses in production, art, and screenwriting, you'll conceptualize effective strategies for creating moving media. Classes in cinema history will challenge you to think critically about images and their meaning. Courses like Film Aesthetics and Storytelling for the Screen will provide insights into disseminating messages across a diverse array of distribution channels.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, job opportunities in the film industry are growing faster than average. Our unique BFA gives you an overview of the film-making process while providing flexibility to explore your specific interests. Whether your interests lie in video production, editing, or production management, you'll gain insight into the inner workings of this competitive industry.
State-of-the-art 4k cinema cameras, gimbals, LED lights, and editing labs expose you to the latest in film and video technology to prepare and give you the tools needed for the required internship and senior thesis.
According to a popular study, and despite the ongoing pandemic, video advertising will exceed well over $30 billion dollars for 2020 and continue to increase at a pace of 35% by 2023.

Studying film at Florida Southern means collaborating with faculty and fellow students to apply your ideas and insights to real-world projects.
I chose Florida Southern because I knew that I would have a lot of unique opportunities. But I never imagined I would get to help produce a short film like ‘My Florida Home.’ I got great experience and contacts out of it. I met some professional people and developed close relationships with some of my peers also. — Amanda Grisanti ’20
