Dear Networker,
              I need information about PhD and MFA degree.
 
              I am a Professor in The Federal University of Mato Grosso do
Sul - Brazil. I undergraduated in Biology and graduated in Arts/Film. I have
The Master of Arts degree with specialization in Film making. I Produced a
16mm documentary film on an environmental threat in a polluted city on
brazilian coast.
 
              I would like to develop my knowledges on documentary film
making on environmental issues. I need to study in an other country, there
isn't a good course in Brazil. But my University and The CNpQ and CAPES
 -the brazilian agencies that fund the international studies- DO NOT ACCEPT
MFA like a terminal degree. It is a nonsense!!!
 
              I would like to prove this to the agencies and my university.
May be I can change it with your contribution.
 
              Please send your opinion and give some examples.
 
              Send it to my E-Mail or to the list.
 
 
                                                THANKS !
