Film Directing MA

This programme takes a practice-based collaborative approach to studying for an award in Film Directing, focused on documentary, that integrates practical filmmaking with analysis of contemporary practice.<br/><br/>You will make a creative documentary or non-fiction film that defies genre definition and pushes the boundaries of narrative, using limitations in a creative way. You will develop these through group seminars and tutorials.<br/><br/>You will work in an integrated framework that helps you question the form of your film and enables you to find the right language for your storytelling.<br/><br/>We encourage ways of working that foster the exchange of ideas, with inspiration from international filmmaking practice through support from our team of documentary practitioners. <br/><br/>Our tutors are top professionals currently working in the industry as:<br/><br/><br/>- directors<br/><br/><br/>- producers<br/><br/><br/>- editors<br/><br/><br/>- sound designers<br/><br/><br/>- cinematographers. <br/><br/><br/>Our experience in the industry encourages us to adapt our use of technologies to the current situation, using best industry practice and safe guidelines for filming. <br/><br/>Graduate films do well internationally, regularly winning BAFTAs, RTS Awards and awards at international festivals. Our students and graduates have also received an Oscar nomination and an Oscar shortlist.
