1. A constant shift between traditional class teaching, practical exercises and film production.
This offers you theoretical knowledge of film production as well as the chance to actually practice everything you learn in class. In terms of teaching, each course period consist of app. 25 teaching hours per week – and in terms of film production, our students produce more than 100 short films together during the programme.
2. The fact that students cannot pick a specific field of study, but are forced to dive into at least 3 different fields of filmmaking.
On one side, this allows our students to explore their true talent (maybe your talent is actually editing, and not directing?) – and on the other side, knowing more about other fields of filmmaking will make you better at your preferred field.
Documentary at EFC is a foundation course which will introduce you to the world of documentary film; a world that requires many of the skills and mindsets from the fiction world, but then again, something totally different.
We will watch selected films, do various readings and have conversations, exploring the genre of non-fiction; from the observational ‘fly on the wall’-documentary to highly stylized and personal narratives, hybrid cinematic essays or experimental documentaries.
You will also learn to: conceive your ideas, develop concepts, direct and shoot a short documentary, and work with editors and sound designers.
