Times are changing in film production. The film industry needs artists who can adapt to changing production environments; practitioners who have the ability to invent new paradigms in storytelling. If your interest in film production extends beyond the standard, and into a cutting edge, practice-based approach by way of emerging workflows and frontier technology, then this is the course for you.

Times are changing in film production. The film industry needs artists who can adapt to changing production environments; practitioners who have the ability to invent new paradigms in storytelling. If your interest in film production extends beyond the standard, and into a cutting edge, practice-based approach by way of emerging workflows and frontier technology, then this is the course for you. You may have just finished a media production degree, have an abiding interest in telling stories and screenwriting, or already be working in the film industry but want to experiment with your practice or academic experience.

This course is all about asking questions, challenging your practice, looking to the future and exploring the filmmaker you want to be.

Studying at Salford’s campus in MediaCity places you in the heart of the UK’s thriving media industry. Here, you will employ a rigorous process of artistic self-analysis and reflection, while developing as a versatile and nimble filmmaker - through a discipline that views perceived limitations as opportunities for creative expansion. You will develop skills in all aspects of film production and collaboration, working on practical projects and learning from industry professionals.

You will be encouraged to engage with radical new ideas of how filmmaking processes can be led by technology, the artist, in-house teams or by economic forces that reflect the future of film production – leaving the past behind.
