Creative Documentary by Practice MFA
About this degree
The MFA offers the opportunity for students to develop non-fiction filmmaking as a creative research practice. It opens with a series of exercises designed to reframe their approach to documentary as a conceptually-led practice - and then develop film work which interrogates and explores the contemporary world. You will learn and explore diverse forms of creative non-fiction filmmaking, including how to collaborate with researchers from other fields.
Who this course is for:
We are looking for practitioners who can demonstrate communicative and artistic achievement to the level of BA. We will review your portfolio of work and CV to assess your suitability for the programme. Students without any filmmaking experience are encouraged to apply for the MA in Ethnographic and Documentary Film.
