The first year is devoted to the creation of works using cinematic, photographic, and video techniques, as well as sound and music. Cinema continues to be an essential practical and theoretical component of the learning process at Le Fresnoy, which depends on a well-known cinephile culture. The experimental character of Le Fresnoy students’ film works is significant. Photography is also a significant form of expression at the institution.

The second year is devoted to the broad fields of digital art and new creative technology. The teaching philosophy at Le Fresnoy is predicated on the goal of eventually producing full-scale, professional-quality works. The institution provides all professional instruments required to create audiovisual and digital art.
