Text & Image: Writing for Film
This production/theory course will introduce students to scripts and texts by filmmakers working in essayistic, poetic, fiction, and non-fiction forms, and in hybrid combinations of these forms that do not follow traditional screenwriting paradigms. The course will include workshops in writing voice-over, dialogue, and visual text for the screen, as well as workshops in cinematography, lighting, and editing image to text. We will study works by filmmakers including Shirin Neshat, Pedro Costa, Mona Hatoum, Gaelle Rouard, John Akomfrah, and Pham Ngoc Lan.
Directing/Performance for Film
This is a production/theory course for video and film students interested in developing and strengthening the element of performance in their work. How does performance for the camera differ from performance for the stage? How do we find a physical language and a camera language that expand upon one another in a way that liberates the imagination? This course will explore performance and directing in their most diverse possibilities, in a context specific to film and video makers.
