These Film by Practice doctoral studentships are tenable for up to three years and cover full tuition fees and a maintenance allowance.
Features
- Increasingly, independent film practitioners feel the need not only to develop their skills and thinking beyond the received concepts of mainstream or, indeed, art cinema but also to bring greater critical, aesthetic and theoretical rigour into their practice.
- A new aesthetic is required if film is to move beyond its present parameters, one that acknowledges the historical imperatives of its culture.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The partnership formed by LFS and the College of Humanities provides a unique combination of strengths in all the areas covered by this PhD.
- College staff have the critical theoretical experience required to lead the supervision of a research degree, while LFS staff are professionals from within the creative industries with significant expertise in guiding students in filmcraft.
- More generally, the College and the University offer training in a range of research skills, and students will benefit from being a part of both the research culture of the College and the professionally-based environment of the LFS.
