The M.A. in Social Documentation and Ph.D. in Film + Digital Media, take
advantage of the strength of the renowned Film + Digital Media faculty and the
expertise of faculty in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences divisions at
UC Santa Cruz. After identifying which program best suits their interests,
potential students should consult the program websites for guidelines and
deadlines before applying.
The Ph.D. in Film and Digital Media offers a rigorous,
critically grounded program that also supports challenges to the traditionally
conceived borders between creative and critical practice. The program enables
potential dialogue between creative practice and theoretical knowledge as
related forms of intellectual work and provides the conditions for students to
realize a wide range of possible projects that includes cinema, television,
video art, and internet-based media. The program thus prepares students for
intellectually informed creative practice as well as theoretical and critical
production in a range of environments, not limited to traditional academic
contexts. http://film.ucsc.edu/phd
SocDoc is a one-of-a-kind program designed for future documentarians
committed to social change and to documenting communities, cultures, issues,
and individuals who are marginalized in our current landscape of
representation. SocDoc goes beyond the story. That's our motto and our
practice: to go beyond story-telling into the intimacy of people's lives, the causes
underlying social injustice, the issues too pressing to ignore. There's a
story, too, but we think that should be the beginning, not the end, of the
matter.
