Varadesh Hiregange, Director of the Institute has informed in a press release that this course is the first of its kind which offers both Indian and foreign degree in MIC. The course will commence in Manipal on September 19.
The common goal of this programme - one year in MIC and one year in EICAR, Paris was to prepare students to find employment in one of the five major disciplines directing, production, editing, cinematography, screenwriting - of audio-visual production, whether it be film, television or new media.
EICAR is located in Paris which has a great historic legacy in terms of the medium of film - from the birth of the medium to the present day. Access to some of the definitive spaces, stat-of-the-art film studios, museums, exhibitions and screenings will be definite instruments in the holistic grooming of a student.
The first year at MIC will ground the students in understanding the medium from a socio-cultural-historic-economic-critical perspective with equal emphasis on hands-on training in audio-visual production in the digital video format.
In the second year at EICAR, Paris, students will specialize in direction, screenwriting, cinematography or editing.
This dual degree programme was realized with the guidance of the Pro Vice Chancellor of Manipal University Vinod Bhat.
On successful completion of the course, students would be awarded the degrees of Master of Arts in Film Art by Manipal University and Master of Fine Arts in Filmmaking accredited by the European Accreditation Board of Higher Education Schools, EABHES.
A candidate for admission to this programme should have completed a bachelor degree course in any stream (which is of three or more years' duration after the 10+2 examination) from any recognized university, having secured not less than 50 per cent of marks in the aggregate of the total marks prescribed.
