The Fine Art and Film course at Lancaster invites you to explore bold and imaginative connections between moving image and fine art practices. You will develop your ideas in an environment where the histories and theories of cinema and fine art intersect, generating dynamic and experimental outcomes. From its cityscape and rural backdrops to its coastal scenery, Lancaster’s surroundings provide ample inspiration and filming locations.
Through an in-depth engagement with materials, processes, and techniques, you’ll create a body of work that examines how film and fine art inform, challenge, and reimagine one another. The course encourages critical thinking, experimentation, and risk-taking, supporting you in developing work that is conceptually strong and visually compelling.
Working with academics from film and fine art with a history of national and international excellence, you will graduate with a combination of intellectual and practical skills indispensable for future critical and creative pursuits.
