You are going to get 6 different courses during your stay at the EFC. Each course is 3 weeks, and you will get approximately 20 hours of class-teaching every week in course periods. Before each course period you will be asked to make a prioritized wish list of courses you would like to attend – and according to logistics and needs the faculty will try to meet your wishes.
The courses are integrated which means you will meet various disciplines in the individual course. An example could be that students in directing-class make exercises with students in cinematography-class – and later in the same course period they hook up with the students doing production management-class.
The subject of
rights and copyrights will be covered to secure that students know about this important matter and to ensure that their EFC-productions can be used for film school applications and film festivals.
The courses will be combined with Faculty Lectures, Wednesday Lectures and Saturday Lectures to fulfill the need for both practical and theoretical learning.
Every Friday from 14 to 17 we have Project Class where we develop, discuss and plan upcoming projects and exercises.
