Studiegids

Aims

Compared to the Bachelor Program, the Master Studio puts a greater emphasis on the interaction between the school’s input and the students’ contribution. The Master Studio Film offers a continuous program of mandatory activities that includes exercises, workshops, lectures, presentations by visiting artists, group presentations, group discussions, film screenings and excursions to exhibitions that offer a wide range of ideas and positions from the contemporary field of cinema and audiovisual art. Students contribute their own knowledge, sensitivities, skills, aspirations, motivation and commitment. By using the input and through dialogue with the lecturer, students try to formulate adequate questions and responses and reach solutions independently, culminating in the creation of their personal audiovisual work. 

Film Master students deepen the art of film directing, sharpen their creative and critical mind en get to know the professional world of cinema. By way of a wide range of educational activities, they learn to refine their personal style, voice and imagination and get in touch with different (artistic, productional, intellectual, technical) aspects of film and audiovisual arts. 

At the end of the Master Studio Film students should be able to demonstrate that they:
- are creating personal, inventive and creative film works
- are able to construct a working pattern
- have developed a critical vocabulary and analytical skills
- have engaged in dialogue with peers, tutors and teachers

- are capable of articulating and assessing the many choices and decisions relating to their artistic development

- demonstrate a personal vision and advanced technical and production skills in video and audio techniques

This package of skills and knowledge is reflected in the student’s graduation project.
