EUROPEAN SATELLITE PROGRAM
This program is located in Bonn, Germany, and focuses on documentary film production in the European context. This is designed as a semester program with offerings focusing on Production majors. Taught by LMU faculty and European film and television experts in the Loyola Marymount University tradition, the courses are offered in the form of master workshops, providing students with an exclusive learning experience. The close interaction with faculty that is afforded by this format makes the program unique. Students receive 15 semester hours of credit, which includes the production sequence.
The semester in Bonn includes excursions and educational field trips to give students a deeper insight into film and TV production in Europe. Depending on the semester and opportunity, students will attend film festivals and talk with directors, producers, and others in the media field. A week excursion to Berlin and Prague, two centers of film production, will bring to life the theories learned in the classroom and will help inform and stimulate students in their own artistic productions. Each student will produce a 10-15 minute documentary. Staff and teaching assistants in film will assist with the technical and creative needs.
Students with a minimum GPA of 3.0, who are in good standing and have completed the Production prerequisites, are invited to apply. The program cost is comparable to full-time residency at LMU and includes tuition, housing, breakfast and dinner, excursions, and public transportation within Bonn. Applications are available through the Study Abroad Office in University Hall, Suite 1840.
