Aimed at students with some experience of film and video-making already, our MA Screen Production (Documentary) offers you access to expert support and industry-level facilities to take your work to the next level. Covering the huge breadth of forms of documentary, you'll study wide-ranging filmmaking practices and apply these to producing your own films. The course is practice-focused, expanding your experience of documentary filmmaking, and training you to be a 'thinking documentary filmmaker', as you learn from the work of great documentarists. This course is integrated into the buoyant documentary sector of Bristol's audiovisual economy, where Channel 4 recently opened its regional hub, and commissioners are investing in documentary projects. Some of the fastest growing indies in the UK, such as Plimsoll, Drummer, Silverback and Icon Films are based here and we work closely with local companies, as well as the BBC, to offer you varied production opportunities. Working with Bristol Business School, you'll also build the skills you need to operate as a freelance, self-employed documentary filmmaker. There'll be opportunities to network with other future creative leaders, working alongside students on our other postgraduate screen MAs. The course includes company visits and guest lectures by leading industry experts.
