WHAT ARE THE PREREQUISITES FOR APPLYING TO FILM -10 WEEKS?
FILM-10 WEEKS is well suited for those who have already started exploring film as a means of expression – perhaps you have made some films on your own, or taken a video editing course, or perhaps you have written a script that you want to develop into a film idea. It also suits you who have experience in other creative fields, such as still photography, design, visual art or journalism.
The course is for you who want to immerse yourself in the knowledge you already have and want to create films supervised by professional filmmakers. The course is for you who want to get a network of film colleagues with the same serious goal, to one day be part of the film industry.
As the course takes place in the evening, it is suitable for you who want to be able to combine education with work. The course is for you who during ten intensive weeks want to create film, talk about film, discuss film and realize your own and others’ cinematic ideas.
