Experimental Film

Catalog description

This course is an introduction to the art and technique of experimental filmmaking. It is a practice-based course, meaning that you will be actively making your own films, learning by doing. The course will also cover the history and theory of experimental filmmaking, providing a context for the work you are creating. There will be weekly viewings of experimental films, readings, as well as in-class discussions, lectures, and critiques of student work. No prior experience in filmmaking is required, but you should be prepared to work independently and collaboratively, and to put in extra time outside of class to complete your projects.
