Apply

February 1, 2018 was the deadline to apply for priority access to SVA SocDoc, including access to Department Scholarships. However, we are still taking applications through the spring on a rolling basis, until the program is filled.
We are looking for the next generation of non-fiction storytellers – you need not have prior professional experience, but you must have a passion for filmmaking, strong story ideas, and a desire to fully immerse yourself in the industry and art of documentary filmmaking. Get in touch to take a personal tour and for more information about how SVA’s MFA Social Documentary Film program may be the right path for you. 

SocDoc will not only teach you how to tell a great story – we will guide you toward a career in the thriving documentary industry.
