Education Abroad in Parma

“Sustainable Cinema in Italy” is a maymester program directed by the Department of French and Italian of the University of Texas at Austin in cooperation with 24FPS, a community of filmmakers, artists, and educators in Parma, Italy.

The program provides students the opportunity to live and study in Italy for three weeks. Students will learn about environmental Italian cinema and sustainable practices in filmmaking and other cultural productions in Italy. Hands-on, experiential learning opportunities will be available to students as we collaborate with 24FPS in independent projects. Students earn three credit hours for one course (ITC339 Italian Cinema), which carries an Independent Inquiry flag.

The program is open to all registered undergraduate and graduate students of UT and to students in good standing from other universities or colleges who register at UT for the maymester session. Prof. Paola Bonifazio will accompany the group.
