Overview

Key features

The development and inspiration for the Film Arts program grew out of Langara's well known Theatre Arts/ Studio 58 program and its successful conservatory approach to training actors and production personnel in theatre.

The Film Arts program offers post-accreditation certificates in three streams of study; Writing for the Screen, Acting for the Screen, and Directing for the Screen. Each certificate is a stand-alone program. Courses in film studies, film principles, and film practice overlap resulting in a creative and collaborative environment in which students will practice their skills with the other creators in each craft area. These overlapping courses are designed so students will develop a dynamic understanding of the film making process. The program culminates in an annual Unlock the Vault film festival every August, which showcases student films. Watch the 2023 films.

The Film Arts program from Langara College is for dedicated students committed to imaginative exploration and to honing and upgrading their skills and knowledge in film. Courses in film studies, industry practices, the principles and business of film production, and career preparation will give students in all streams the knowledge to embark on creative film careers.
