film

There are three main workshops: Documentary, Fiction and Audiovisual Research. In the Fiction workshops, we emphasise the realisation of scenes and films, focusing on narration, actor direction and cinematography. The Documentary workshops focus on the filmmaker's position in the (audiovisual) world, and on the relationships between maker, subject and form. In Audiovisual Research, the search for the power of images is both means and end. Very specific to our film course is the focus on the aural and on compositional strategies (in addition to narrative and documentary) that help you develop your audiovisual thinking in image and sound. In addition, film-critical theory subjects play a crucial role: they help to orient you within existing practices and conceptions of cinema through which you learn to communicate about your work. The capstone of the bachelor's programme is a personal film project in which you take artistic responsibility for all facets of the production, from script to direction, camera work, sound design and editing. At the same time, you collaborate on the projects of fellow students and masters, and learn to work together at all stages of film production.

In the master's programme, you can further develop into an audiovisual author with a solid theoretical basis and an inquisitive, questioning attitude. The master's project consists of the realisation of a film and a thesis, fuelled by seminars and an internship ('art in the field'). Your graduation film usually lands you on the circuit of film festivals and other screening platforms. Year after year, KASK films are noticed at home and abroad at prestigious festivals. But often alumni also find exactly the specialised place where their strengths are shown to their best advantage, with inspiring collaborations in a wide range of possible roles, from editing and cinematography to sound design, film production or programming.
