FOCUS ON: FILM + ANIMATION

What is it about that Film + Animation area?

The Film + Animation area at SMFA is one of the many at the School that has seen a growth in popularity over the years. We sat down with full-time faculty member Joel Frenzer, an animator in his own right, to learn why it is that students are so interested in the program.

A History Lesson

SMFA was founded in 1876, conceived at the same time as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, as the crucial second part of a mission to educate through the arts. SMFA was intended to be a school of art; not simply a technical institute, but a school of the most rigorous ideas and concepts.
