Filmmaking at the Kansas City Art Institute

Image-making as a contemporary, evocative and evolving process draws students to KCAI’s innovative program. Here, students will develop a personal body of knowledge and advanced skills as a creative, technically sound and culturally aware participant in the emerging fields of contemporary art and professional photographic and filmmaking practice.

Faculty and visiting artists offer critical guidance and a broad range of aesthetic perspectives. Students are required to participate in a professional internship, which emphasizes the development of personal vision and challenges students to hone their personal point of view. Recent internships include Hint, Outpost Worldwide, Creature Feature FX, Charlotte Street Foundation, KCAI H&R Block Artspace and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
