After completing this 10-week introduction course, a large majority of students progress onto the nine month diploma, which is taught one day per week.

No previous experience in film is required as you will be introduced to all aspects of the process such as lighting, sound, editing and operating digital cameras. This evening short course is a terrific opportunity for film enthusiasts to dive into the world of filmmaking.

Please be aware that you will need computer literacy skills to be able to adapt to the editing software used efficiently. From week 3 and onward, at least one hour of the course each week is editing work.
