Film Graduates from Valand Academy Present
The BFA in Film is a three-year program studying the practice of film. In the end of spring 2019, seven students will graduate, aspiring to create innovative ways of storytelling and content in film and imagery. Their ongoing projects are challenging our view of film as a medium and are presented as a selection of works screened and exhibited.
