MA in Film Curating
Starting October 2010, at Birkbeck College
This new MA in Film Curating, which will be offered for the first time in October 2010, is a collaboration between the London Consortium (Tate, ICA, Birkbeck, Architectural Association, Science Museum) and the London Film School.
Drawing on Tate's expertise (and that of the other participating institutions) in curating contemporary art, and bringing this together with the constantly evolving world of film, film festivals and the movie business, this MA course offers a theoretical exploration into the role of film curating in an age in which digital distribution technologies are transforming both the traditional notion of curating and the commercial film distribution sector.
Students attend and have privileged access to the film festivals of both Cannes and Rotterdam. Each student curates a film screening or film-related event of his or her own devising, drawing on the combined resources and expertise of the London Film School and the constituent institutions of the London Consortium.
For full course details and information about how to apply, please visit the London Consortium website. The deadline for applications is 1st June 2010.
