MA/MS in Regie

The master's programme in directing is aimed at graduates who already hold a degree in a film-related field and can show work with a recognisable artistic voice. Students choose either a feature film or a documentary focus when they apply, and that choice applies for the whole course. In the feature track, professors and invited industry guests help students refine how they combine dramaturgy, acting, language, image and music into a complete film. The first two semesters concentrate on developing personal story material in small groups, supported by workshops and practice exercises. Students also deal with the economics of film production and with leading a team. The final project serves as an artistic statement and a calling card for the industry, and artistic research is built into teaching in the later years. Graduates can make their own films and works or direct commissioned productions.
