This evening course for documentary film-makers will help you critically frame your filmmaking to produce thought-provoking films that have social and cultural implications.
You'll also learn about a broad range of conceptual methodologies. This will help prepare you to undertake practice-led research (e.g. a practice-based PhD, visual ethnography, experimental filmmaking, video art, etc.)
You'll also be able to bring your own material and discuss your research, at the tutor's discretion.
Classes are held on Wednesday evenings, from 6:30 to 9pm, from 14 November to 5 December 2018.
