De Anza College’s Film/Television Department is the largest, most successful department of its kind in the California community college system. More than 1,000 students are enrolled each quarter in 27 course offerings in the disciplines of film and video remote, studio production, screenwriting, animation, and media studies.

Housed in De Anza’s Advanced Technology Center and a part of the Creative Arts Division, the Film/Television Department offers a comprehensive curriculum taught by an experienced, dedicated faculty. Courses are designed for students seeking career paths in some aspect of film and/or television. Students prepare to enter the cinema, film, video, animation, and entertainment professions by learning fundamental concepts gained through hands-on experience. They use a wide variety of film, video, and electronic equipment in the context of the historical production tradition and aesthetic foundations of world entertainment media.

It is not unusual for De Anza students to launch successful careers in film and television and to receive numerous awards for their creativity. De Anza students have won more Student Academy Awards, Emmy Awards, and Focus Awards than students at any other two-year school in the nation.
