FILM Lectures 2024-2025
FILM Lectures 2024-2025 is a Master’s series by the Lectorate FILM, Erik Viskil and Georgie Brinkman.
In this series, we explore the principles of filmmaking through mostly socially engaged films and video works from different periods and cultures. In one year, we start with narrative fiction and eventually arrive at the documentary or beyond; in the next, we move from facts and reasoning towards acted fiction, but always with room for abstraction and experiment. The programme has practical, theoretical, historical, anthropological and political dimensions and invites reflection and debate. FILM is Frame, Image, Language, Movement.
