Creative Documentary by Practice MFA

UCL (University College London)

A 21-month practice-based programme that provides all the technical and intellectual resources required to make outstanding non-fiction film work. This programme is ideal for students with prior filmmaking experience, who want to develop their craft, and deepen their artistic practice. The MFA offers students the opportunity to develop non-fiction filmmaking as a creative research practice – making films which interrogate and explore the contemporary world. 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. In the first year of the program, each student will make three short films, supported by weekly workshops, tutorials, seminars and screenings. In the second year of the program, each student will devise a graduation film project exploring a subject of their choice, supervised by an industry mentor.
