Summary
Our ScreenSkills accredited MA Filmmaking programme provides a stimulating, supportive and professional environment in which you can freely yet rigorously develop your unique voice and develop the skills to transform dreams into cinematic realities.
The programme is designed to support those who wish to work professionally in a variety of roles; including as directors, producers, writers, editors, cinematographers, sound recordists, designers and editors. Students will be taught advanced industry practice in fiction, documentary or experimental filmmaking genres, including immersive virtual reality productions.
Working collaboratively, students will each make three films over the course of the year (a documentary, a fiction film, and then a graduation film in any genre). You will combine theory and production in film practice modules, whilst also extending your professional knowledge and industry understanding of the practice of filmmaking in two other classroom-based modules.
Teaching on this master's is undertaken by active and award-winning film practitioners. You will also have the opportunity to attend specialist industry events at the Glasgow Film Festival. Opportunities will also exist to learn from the professionals who work in Film City and, on occasion, for you to make use of the Film City facilities to complete post-production on your own films.
Mixing the best of behind-camera talent, with the business expertise that takes scripts from the page, through development and, finally, to the big screen, we seek to inspire and equip our students with knowledge and contacts necessary to fulfil their ambitions.
