Alternative Fiction: Short Form Filmmaking

In Alternative Fictions students will analyze and produce films that challenge preconceived notions of storytelling, character development, preformatted structures, and the division between documentary and fiction filmmaking. The course merges conceptual ideas and practical hands-on instruction to foster the successful development of three group exercises and one individual project. Classes include theoretical discussions, equipment demonstrations, in-class exercises, film screenings, and presentations with critical feedback of assignments.
