The geography of the film world is rapidly changing. There are growing and thriving film industries throughout the world, with directors, writers, and actors of wide-ranging nationalities becoming artistically and commercially successful. Films indigenous to their own nations are gaining an increasingly large share of their local box office pies, and opportunities abound for new filmmakers to gain entry to – and thrive – in foreign lands.

International financing is evolving into an essential component of funds available to make films anywhere in the world. For film students hoping to establish successful film careers, an understanding of how the industry works on a worldwide basis is critical. Our curriculum is designed to create this awareness in students, as well as to teach them how to access jobs in foreign countries.
