Festival and Marketplace is an intensive study, chosen either locally or abroad. Students will be given an opportunity to gain a deep and immersive understanding of the changing marketplace for film and television within a wider and global context.
Students will attend a local or international film or television festival with marketplace where they will have first-hand experience of the nuanced sphere of audience and key players in television, streaming and cinema. The perspectives of distributors, sales agents and other marketplace operators will be revealed through industry lectures, field trips and tutorials.
