This subject is an intensive two-week cultural immersion, through which students will gain a deeper and contextual understanding of contemporary screen practice and culture at the highest international level.
Students will be challenged to think beyond the limitations of their current screen practice by visiting the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) and participating in events / screenings, showcasing current practice and emerging trends in the screen industry.
Students will consider their own screen work within the context of the international screen market and cultural environment. During the festival experience, students will generate new work to be screened / presented upon completion of the subject.
The intensive takes place over a 20-day period during the July / August MIFF season. Students will attend at least 10 MIFF screenings and 5 industry talks* and reflect upon these events in tutorials spread throughout the festival duration. *Some of these events may be curated (i.e. pre-determined by the subject co-ordinator) and others will be free choice. Cost of attendance at the festival is the student’s responsibility. Ticket prices are available at http://miff.com.au/index.php. Most industry talks are free.
This subject will incur costs in addition to tuition fees.
These costs include: Tickets to attend the required minimum of 10 Screenings, and 5 Industry Talks at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
