A Master’s Programme to bring stories to life.

The cinema-audiovisual sector now includes not only cinema and TV series, but also infotainment and branded content products, and it is one of the industries that has grown the most during the past five years, at national and international level. This evolution implies a structural transformation of the sector and increasing attention to the rules of engagement, the new equilibrium between production, traditional and current distribution sector, and the digital streaming platforms, the legal-economic aspects of intellectual property rights. These changes highlight the need to bring highly qualified professionals into the job market.

The Master in Cinema and New formats production aims at training professionals able to cover different roles within this new sector: production secretary, production inspector, production manager, general organizer, production delegate, marketing manager, development manager, acquisition manager, sales agent, creative producer, executive producer, independent producer.
