YEAR PLAN
Although there may be slight changes from year to year, our 1-year programme is pretty much formed by the same building stones each year.
As a student, after 2 intro weeks, you take part in three 6-week basic course periods, which consist of 4 weeks of classes and 2 weeks of film production (Course Exercises). Furthermore, you will be able to attend a 4th course (with no course exercise) and a student trip to a European film festival. Towards the end of the 1-year programme, all students go together to produce a long row of Spring Films, your final film projects. And the stay ends with an outro week and an (often) tearful goodbye...
Below, you can see the rough lines of our programme.
Student trip
Each year, in February, we all pack our bags and go on a trip together, to a European film festival. Over the years we have visited Rotterdam and Berlin, but at the moment the destination is Göteborg Film Festival.
We go together by bus and ferry, and we stay at a hostel. A lot of the teachers join, and sometimes also member of the practical or administrative staff.
We will put together a rough programme with some trips or guided tours - but there is also plenty of time for students to go on their own adventures. And we of course attend the film festival, and we book most of our cinema tickets from home. Teachers will guide you on how to do it.
The study trip is paid for via your tuition, including some pocket money for food.
