ROY H. PARK SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATIONS
 Cinema and Photography Department
 Two Film Production Positions

Two tenure-eligible film production positions starting August 15, 2000
offer successful applicants the opportunity to teach and produce work in
a lively, creative and engaging environment and to take part in shaping
an evolving curriculum in one of the strongest undergraduate
communication programs in the country.

The Department of Cinema and Photography at Ithaca College confers both
B.S. and B.F.A. degrees. Our degree programs have a strong commitment
to integrating production and critical studies. We offer courses in
16mm production and post production, film sound post-production,
directing, screenwriting, and computerized animation. Other specialized
areas of study include narrative, documentary, experimental, and hybrid
form. Our program has significant resources, including contemporary
digital technology and support staff for both traditional 16mm
production (including an on-site 16mm black-and-white processing lab)
and post-production (e.g., Avids and telecine).

The Park School and the College actively promote and support faculty
development, made possible by a $17 million bequest from the late James
B. Pendleton to the Park School. The Pendleton Endowment provides
significant internal grant support for faculty and student production
and research. Additional funding is provided by the College through a
series of grant programs.
