Documentary filmmaking is constantly evolving, thanks to the rise of internet and social media, there are now countless places for filmmakers to screen their work. This course will help individuals find an audience for the idea or subject they are passionate about, and it will support them in turning their vision into a bold and innovative film.
At the Northern Film School, students will have the opportunity to explore and communicate a subject they are passionate about. The school supports all types of filmmaking, including campaigning and issue-led films, observational and character pieces, experimental films, and wildlife documentaries. Students will have the chance to develop and pitch their ideas, and successful ones will be made into masters projects with real production budgets.
The course is scheduled to start in Autumn/Winter 2020 in the new Leeds School of Arts building based at the City Campus. In the event of any delays or changes to this schedule, the delivery of some or all modules for the course may take place in existing facilities at the Headingley and City Campuses.
