Course syllabus
Welcome to the Essay Film course!
We are looking forward to getting to know you and your upcoming projects.
The approach of the course is a combination of the historical context and conceptual aspects of essay film. We are asking you, the students, to translate the historical context with the conceptual aspect into making your own visual essays. The course is structured to equip you in the process of completing your final projects.
We will be meeting on zoom until further notice and the zoom room is always the same:
