Cinema and Digital Media Department of the Izmir University of Economics has been established in 2012 as a unique undergraduate program that offers contemporary cinema and digital media arts education. We focus on conventional and digital forms of visual storytelling including fiction and documentary, animation, interactive and immersive forms of media production.

The difference of our program to others in Türkiye is its emphasis in the convergence of traditional cinematic storytelling and digital media technologies. Observable trends in media production and consumption show that the future of cinema art has been tied in with the development of interactive and online digital media. In this context, our department focuses on new forms of storytelling in a transformed field, such as fiction, documentary, experimental, animated, interactive films produced for or publicized on digital platforms.

The achievements of our students and graduates confirm the success of the education our program provides. Over the past years our students won many prestigious awards in national and international film and media arts festivals, and our graduates have been appointed for leading positions in the media arts industry, or got accepted to internationally acclaimed graduate programs in Turkey, USA and Europe. In the light of such success stories, we proudly claim to educate the future generation of creative filmmakers, media artists, and content producers.
