CFC pacts with OCAD on graduate program

The Canadian Film Centre’s digital media incubator is headed to university.

Norman Jewison’s advanced training center is putting its CFC Media Lab in partnership with OCAD University to launch a graduate program in Digital Futures, or next-generation cross-media production.

The OCAD program will earn graduating students a part-time diploma and a full-time master’s degree.

“Together, OCAD U and CFC Media Lab have created one of Canada’s leading digital media partnerships, with highly experienced faculty, interdisciplinary teams, diversified industry and cultural partnerships, as well as key cross-sector expertise,” Ana Serrano, director of the CFC Media Lab, said in a statement.
