Overview
The programme offers a uniquely integrated approach, in which the specificities of European national cinemas (including, for example, those of East Europe, Iceland, Greece, and Turkey) are explored within the context of contemporary European culture and society. It engages creatively and intellectually with wide-ranging theoretical, historical, and technical concepts, and aims to develop advanced critical, analytical, and practical digital film-making skills, and to provide a comprehensive understanding of the European film industry in relation to issues of production, distribution, and exhibition. There are regular visits by professionals from all areas of film and media, and opportunities for work experience and creative involvement with local and regional arts organisations.
