TESTIMONIAL
“As a film student who requires a lot of practice, at UMN I got it right away. I got hands-on experience while filming with seniors. My own shooting was also supervised by experienced lecturers. The second is connection, and I get a lot of it from UMN. Currently, apart from being a content creator, I am currently producing short films for festivals with my lecturers at UMN. There are many brand projects that I also work on with fellow alumni.”

“Since studying in the Film and Animation Study Program, I had the opportunity to make 3 animated short films as a final task of the semester. From this experience I had the opportunity to learn and experiment a lot with the way to tell stories. Now when I create comics, it feels like I can use all that science. Not only that, in UMN there are many student activities to make new friends, gain more insights, and improve teamwork. It is all very helpful from the stage of looking for a job until the time when you already work.”

Film & Animation
Filmmaking is a very favorable, aesthetic yet complex form of art. Only through teamwork, hard work and perseverance, a good film can be made. Live shoot, animated or CGI are our means to achieve it.
