24-6033 Short Forms

Short Forms offers an aesthetic and historical overview of alternative and experimental approaches to structuring the short film or video. Taught from a filmmaker’s point of view, the class emphasizes experimental styles and techniques rooted in the expression of personal vision and introduces students to the careers of several independent/experimental filmmakers. Short Forms also addresses practical aspects of working as an independent filmmaker, such as film festivals, grants, low budget production methods and internet promotion and distribution. Students conduct film research and analysis. Screenings and readings accompany each unit.
