Film made of content and experimentation.
Film is a world made up of many different forms of expression, each one born out of the necessity to communicate a vision. By using experimentation and research one can give life to new stories. In order to tell them RUFA has created the two-year Master of Arts in Film Arts, conceived  to combine in a single programme the talent and storytelling capacity, writing and vision of students who have completed a BA in Arts or Design.

The filmmakers of the future who are looking for a theoretical-practical specialization that is necessary to transform their passion for audiovisuals into an authentic and concrete profession, can find what they look for in the Film Arts Course at RUFA.
