Documentary Filmmaking: Landscape and Ecology

Program Overview

The MA in Documentary Film at Aberystwyth provides a unique opportunity to develop your practical skills as a documentary filmmaker in a research-led context and with access to both film and digital technologies. You will have the opportunity to explore a range of techniques, experiment with new approaches and take risks as you develop your own creative voice through a period of sustained reflection that leads to a final practical project. The program is designed to equip you with technical expertise, supported by a grounding in the key critical debates in documentary film. You will be encouraged to experiment with different media and methods, and to think about documentary as a form of both personal expression and political intervention, stimulating new ways of seeing and engaging with the world.
