Course summary

MA (Master of Arts) Our innovative and strikingly diverse course will equip you to integrate the theory and practice of film, video and new screen media at an advanced level. Learning about documentary, fiction, artists' film and multi-channel installations alongside students from all around the world, you will explore the many ways in which moving images can be authored. Our students traditionally produce outstanding films on a course that has proved ideal for graduates of film studies, cultural and media studies, humanities and social sciences, as well as art and design. You will learn in a creative, collaborative environment that draws upon the research of leading film practitioners, theorists and historians and takes advantage of our great links to the film industry and art world. MFA (Master of Fine Arts) The MFA level can be completed as a direct follow-on from the MA Filmmaking course at UEL or as a 'top-up' degree if you already have an MA in Film or a related area of moving image practice. The main aim of MFA Filmmaking will be the development of a substantial, high-quality film work, in either documentary, narrative film, video installation or animation, which is ready for distribution through film festivals, broadcast, VOD distribution or gallery exhibition. The development of the final project will be grounded in comprehensive research and a pre-production planning portfolio developed to a professional level. This will include idea generation and development, scripting, funding plans, budgeting, logistical preparation, networking, and distribution planning. It is also anticipated that students' projects may be integrated with industrial placement opportunities or existing professional employment, where appropriate. This will offer opportunity and flexibility for students to develop a formal qualification in line with their individual creative and career development aspirations. The two 60-credit MFA modules are by supervision only.
