Description

Documentary film and video emerged as a new and exciting work in recent years and London is the birthplace of the documentary tradition, where John Grierson launched what he called, "the creative treatment of actuality."

The British Documentary Experience will connect the vibrant world of contemporary documentary film with the historical roots of the tradition, combining critical film viewing field trips to art cinemas in London, master classes with filmmakers, and hands on training in the fundamentals of digital video production.

Open to students at all levels, from beginning to advanced, the two courses will complement one another, providing students with grounding in the documentary tradition, exposure to a variety of contemporary approaches by current filmmakers and the basic skills for using cameras, microphones and editing systems. Therefore students are required to take both classes. London is an incredible location to shoot video and students will create short documentaries during the course of the program as a way to apply the concepts that are developed through the reading, writing and viewing portions of the program.
