Academy Program 2012-2013: Non Narrative Concentration
Non Narrative Concentration at FAMU International
Tutor: Henry Hills Departing from FAMU International’s traditional emphasis on making short narrative films as team projects, students in this concentration focus on making NON-narrative films on their own as individual artists: actuality, structural, materiality, experimental, poetic, abstract, documentary, as well as other non-narrative forms that are not necessarily bound by theatrical presentation. Students shoot independently on 16mm and edit work-prints on the flatbed, and also pursue radical explorations of emerging digital possibilities. After confirming or acquiring necessary skills (shooting digital video, recording digital audio, editing in Final Cut Pro and related programs, using a light meter, shooting 16mm on a Bolex, making tape and cement splices, editing on a Steenbeck, etc.), students, working closely with an artistic mentor, conceive, discuss, shoot, edit, and complete at least two significant films during the year.
