Program Overview

This unique MA programme is based within a university but run by leading film practitioners, ensuring that you receive the highest-quality practice-based learning. You have your own camera equipment throughout and we provide large editing suites. The degree is taught in 2 studios – ‘Ethnographic and Documentary Film’ and ‘Documentary Fiction’. Documentary Fiction explores the boundaries of fiction and non-fiction, bringing elements of performance into documentary filmmaking.

Students learn to tell stories in various documentary film modes; draw on anthropological and social science approaches to documentary; think critically about the relationship between form and content in ethnographic and documentary practice; master the technical skills needed to produce different kinds of films of different lengths for varied audiences; and to critically view and review film material.
