The MFA offers the opportunity for students to develop an understanding of non-fiction film as a research practice. It opens with an extended piece of work during which you will be encouraged to reconceptualise what ‘documentary film’ is. Drawing on broad based anthropological thought about the social and cultural world we aim to produce filmmakers who are imaginative, risk-taking and intellectually engaged: pushing boundaries in the field.
You will develop your camera and editing skills in a context of critical enquiry about the social world. You will learn and explore diverse forms of creative non-fiction filmmaking including how to collaborate with researchers from other fields. You will learn how to take risks in pushing the boundaries of film form. You'll deepen your knowledge of documentary film history and learn how to use moving image in diverse ways.
Students undertake modules to the value of 300 credits.
The programme consists of four compulsory modules (135 credits), three optional modules (45 credits) and a graduation project (120 credits).
Upon successful completion of 240 credits, you will be awarded a MFA in Creative Documentary by Practice.
