Institute of Media Arts
In collaboration with San Bernardino Valley College, Crafton Hills College & San Bernardino Community College District, the Institute of Media Arts serves and represents all forms of media artists.
The Institute of Media Arts (IMA) is affiliated with San Bernardino Valley College’s Film, TV, Media (FTVM) program. The institute provides students further paths to achieve their goals in cinema, television, and all multimedia platforms. This includes feature film, streaming and broadcast TV, and radio/podcast productions. IMA coordinates advanced level projects for media arts students at SBVC through collaboration with a variety of academic departments within the San Bernardino Community College District. Some of these partnerhsips include, but not limited to Art, Theatre, and Music. The IMA also hosts and runs the annual SBVC International Student Film Festival and Media Arts Conference (The Wolverine Con). Lastly, the institute provides funding for paid internships and student projects, which supports greater access of our community to the economics of cinema and media production.
