With Women’s day coming closer, we are organizing an event on the 11th of March. We know there are so many talents in the school and we want to display the power of womanhood. We would love to vary the event with more submissions from the film school.

Every year this event opens up a safe space for women to express themselves freely, it could be a great opportunity to try out a new idea or project. Our theme this year revolves around power of solidarity and the connectivity within the community. We invite anyone who is women identifying to send us your submission. Whether it is a film, monolog, dance choreography or whatever you envision it to be, we would love to hear from you!

Deadline: Sunday 22 February

Inclusive storytelling has become an essential part of contemporary filmmaking and television work. But moving from intention to practice can be challenging.

Daring New Narratives is a three-part lecture series designed by Vic So Hee Alz to support filmmakers and screen creatives in developing more inclusive, thoughtful and complex storytelling approaches. The sessions invite you to question familiar tropes, unlearn unconscious biases and explore new narrative perspectives.

Across three two-hour evening lectures, Vic will guide participants through discussion, analysis and best-practice examples from film and television. Together, we will look at how stories are framed, whose perspectives are centred and how creative choices can either challenge or reinforce existing power structures.

This series is ideal for filmmakers, writers, directors, producers and anyone interested in more responsible and daring screen storytelling.

Between Bodies is an event documenting the works and processes of five artists exploring materiality, cultural structures and agency. The programme includes four performances and talks, alongside an installation that will remain open throughout the day. Each work moves toward an embodied listening of our surroundings and ourselves, creating space for new approaches to sound making and extrapolation.

All participating artists are part of the 2024 Creative Production (Music) MA class, and this event marks a stepping stone toward their final projects. In this context, the works reflect the tension between agency and structure, between bodies.
