CANM 316 - Experimental Filmmaking


Expanding the Boundaries of Possibilities
Credits: 4
Prerequisites: CANM 282  or CANM 284  or CANM 288  or faculty consent
Delivery mode: On-Campus and Online
Fees: Lab fee: $20 if enrolled on-campus
In this course, students will be invited to push the boundaries of their filmmaking practice. Falling outside the traditional classification that divides narrative/documentary or fiction/non-fiction, experimental filmmaking challenges us to expand our conception of the medium. This course will encourage students to draw on their established artistic and filmmaking knowledge and interests-for example: a passion for working with actors; a habit of documenting surroundings; etc.-but to then bend their process in novel, risky ways. Screenings will include a wide variety of films, demonstrating the broad, exciting scope of possibilities of “experimental filmmaking.”
