Hello,everyone.I am a film student from China.I see there are a large number of institutions which now offer film courses in Canada. I have no idea about which one is the best in degree's education.Who can give me some advices?Thank you so much!

Well, there's quite a few to choose from. The one I'm going to is Western. That is located in London, Ontario and offers a program called MTP. MTP is Media, Theory and Production and you get a college diploma and university degree. You do production work at Fanshawe College and all the theory at Western.

Another option is Ryerson's film program, which from my recollection is mostly theory, but I may be wrong. It's a great program from what I hear.

Sheridan College is also a great option, to explore more than just film. Its a Media Arts program that goes into graphic and web design, film, photography and other related fields. Good luck with your search!

Ryerson University and York University are both great film schools.

Ryerson seems to be more technical, with some creative/theory aspects.
York is more creative/theory based with some technical.

Thank you Kegan and Steph!!!

If you're interested in coming to Vancouver (which is quite popular with the film industry )
I have a friend who just recently graduated the film program at Vancouver Film School and he said it was a pretty intense program and well worth the late nights and coffee diet.

Talk about perfect timing...
I went two days ago to talk to an advisor and there was a movie shooting with Mark Wahlberg in the same building as the campus I'll be in January for digital design. Plus, I'm getting a scholarship!!! Apparently they're celebrating an anniversary next year and giving away scholarships to financially starved people like me. Check it out. www.vfs.com/celebration


Sorry for the babble but I'm just excited that things are finally falling into place for me.
