Master of Film (artistic research)
Master
The Master's Degree Programme in Film at the Netherlands Film Academy offers a select group a 2 year course in Artistic research in and through film.
The Master's Degree Programme in Film at the Netherlands Film Academy offers a select group of filmmakers and visual, media or other artists the opportunity for further personal and professional development within an investigate, highly demanding and internationally oriented setting. The focus of the course is on artistic research in and through film, defined as an ongoing process in which artistic practice feeds the need for research, which in turn inspires artistic practice.
The programme aims to contribute to the development of cinema and media culture by emphasizing the need to reflect and research, experiment and exchange. It’s our strong belief that innovation needs research and that research involves developing a creative identity, mastering methodologies, undertaking experiments and articulating or conceptualizing both process and outcome.
This research question and project idea also serve also serve as the thread that runs throughout the programme. The programme is therefore largely question-driven.
