Master of Arts Screen Production Documentary

Documentary filmmaking is one of the fastest growing sectors of the screen economy. From feature length films to short online content, documentaries offer a powerful tool for storytelling, and engaging audiences in diverse subjects and causes. New platforms and channels are opening up new opportunities for filmmakers to create documentaries for broadcast, web and film distribution.

Aimed at students with some experience of film and video-making already, UWE's MA Screen Production (Documentary) offers students access to expert support and industry-level facilities to take their work to the next level.

Covering the huge breadth of forms of documentary, students will study wide-ranging filmmaking practices and apply these to producing their own films.

The course is practice-focused, expanding students' experience of documentary filmmaking, and training them to be a 'thinking documentary filmmaker', as they learn from the work of great documentarists.

This course is integrated into the buoyant documentary sector of Bristol's audiovisual economy, where Channel 4 recently opened its regional hub, and commissioners are investing in documentary projects.
