Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Filmmaking] From Manchester Metropolitan University

The staff team are practising filmmakers who specialise in drama, documentary and artist film and connect their research interests and professional networks through the course curriculum. Professionalising practice is a key ethos running alongside our bedrock of creativity and exploration as we provide opportunities for students to benefit from visiting speakers and workshops by professionals from different areas of the film and moving image world and encourage students to develop their practice through engaging with external opportunities and film festivals.

The course enables you to identify themes, structures and issues to communicate through ongoing film practice, with an emphasis on experimentation, creativity and innovation. Based within an art school environment, we encourage you to work collaboratively and appreciate the multidisciplinary aspects of filmmaking through factual, fiction and artist film. This allows the discovery of strengths towards specialist roles of director, editor, cinematographer, sound designer, production designer and producer and other individual pathways within contemporary filmmaking disciplines.
