Contents

The three-year follow-up Master´s programme will be very intensive hands-on and theoretical preparation from the very beginning, as the students will learn how to work with a DVCam, HD and DigiBeta while adopting a professional approach to the 16mm and 35mm film formats both on location and in the studio, and taking a number of compulsory courses based on their specialisation, complemented with suitable optional subjects, workshops, and a number of ad-hoc modules - short intensive courses taught by guest professional artists, theorists, and visiting professors.

The intentionally low number of CDM students and the profile of the offered specialisation subjects will guarantee a personalised approach of the professor to every single student. At the beginning, every student will be assigned a tutor to help them with their studies and creation of their theoretical and practical work.
