What is VISA2033 about?

The unit examines the history, practices and narrative forms of non‑fiction media texts with a specific focus on documentary film. Major historical and current trends in the creative treatment of actuality in documentary and factual production are identified and critiqued; the impact of digital technologies in the development of hybridism and nonlinear forms blurring traditional distinctions between fiction/non‑fiction texts are also studied in connection with current critical discourse and new models of distribution. Students will research, develop and produce creative documentary screen projects, as well as examining and practising a number of documentary specific techniques and approaches.
