Practical documentary MA at UCL

September 2015 · News

UCLThe deadline to apply for the MA Ethnographic and Documentary Film at University College London has been extended to September 11th.

The course brings together the world-class research of UCL Anthropology and its other humanities departments, with practice-based filmmaking taught by award-winning filmmakers.

Senior tutors include Penny Woolcock, Vikram Jayanti and Sandhya Suri.

The department also:

  • runs Open City Docs Fest, a major London documentary festival. Students benefit from involvement and industry-leading partners in production, distribution and exhibition of documentary
  • screens films weekly at the new Bertha DocHouse, a cinema dedicated to documentary in the heart of London
  • offers professional camera and sound kits plus editing on Adobe Creative Cloud iMacs in its Audio Visual Laboratory
  • places intensive practical filmmaking skills in the context of theoretical approaches to seeing and representation

You will be taught not only how to make powerful, engaging and technically professional film narrative but also to think about the fundamental question of ‘why’ we make films and to think creatively about questions of form, allowing you to give new shape to the social realities that your film research brings into being.
