Re: [Frameworks] the PhD referral for programs friendly to experimental film
While there may not be many Ph.D. programs specialized in experimental film, I’d suggest that you look for a school with a faculty member or two who you’d like to work with. Almost no one in any area of specialization gets to assemble a committee entirely of people who work narrowly in their subdiscipline. When I was teaching at Florida, we had several students who wrote on experimental film (with me, Maureen Turim, Robert Ray, and others), but they also had more general cinema and media scholars fleshing out their committees. Having a broad training in film studies is a good idea if you’re thinking about looking for teaching after completing your Ph.D., because almost all faculty will have to teach a variety of subjects outside of their area of specialization—intro to film, world cinema, etc. So, grab a stack of publications on experimental film, find essays you’re interested in, find where the authors are teaching, and apply to those places.

Re: [Frameworks] the PhD referral for programs friendly to experimental film
Several projects on experimental film and media have been completed (or are in progress) at York University’s Graduate Program in Cinema & Media Studies/Film in Toronto. The program supports a number of research areas but experimental film & media is one of its strengths, and there are many overlaps with various forms of alternative media, including documentary, new media, etc. Toronto also has a vibrant film and art exhibition scene. http://film.gradstudies.yorku.ca/ > On Jul 31, 2016, at 1:51 PM, Fred Camper wrote: > > Many would agree that the best Ph.
