Located in the heart of New York City, MFA ‘SocDoc’ is an active part of the most thriving documentary film community in the world. Students work directly with accomplished filmmakers—who are faculty, mentors, collaborators and guests—and benefit from their expertise. Through the program, students make many films; each is an opportunity for experimentation and to define their vision and style with support, guidance and analysis.
