If you are considering taking the next step in your filmmaking journey, you may be wondering what the experience of our MFA is really like. In this session, we will walk through what you actually learn to do in our MFA.
In this session, we will explore:
-
Developing practical filmmaking skills across directing, cinematography, sound, and editing through classes and project-based learning
-
Using Transcendental Meditation and inner development to support creativity, clarity, and resilience
-
Building critical thinking, exploring documentary forms, and adapting to a rapidly changing world shaped by AI
At Maharishi International University, our MFA in Documentary Filmmaking and Social Transformation is designed as both a practical training and a process of growth. Students learn by doing, while developing the awareness and perspective needed to create meaningful, relevant work in today’s world.
Bring your questions. We will leave time for open conversation and a Q&A.
The session will be led by Stuart J. Tanner (BBC, Nat Geo, Amnesty International Award) and Amine Kouider (David Lynch Foundation, Playing for Change), program directors of MIU’s MFA in Documentary Filmmaking.
