Documentary Practice Engineering Program Spring 2020 Semester - London

In this Module students will conduct research into a documentary subject, collaboratively develop and produce a short documentary film, and reflectively engage with documentary practice through theory. The Module explores theoretical and methodological frameworks that shape our understanding of documentary practice and reception, including the nature of documentary?s truth claims and the work of audiences in deciphering such claims. Students will be asked to respond to the major documentary modes, and to reflect through their filmmaking on the relationship between their documentary subject and their method.
