BA (Hons) Film (3 Year) at Plymouth College of Art

Film is a dynamic and responsive high-technology programme that will equip you with the practical and conceptual skills you need to develop new ideas in contemporary moving image. It will prepare you equally for a career in the moving image industries, for postgraduate study and for your own creative practice.

Film has always been inextricably linked with the other visual, narrative and performing arts. This programme explores the connections through practice and theoretical study and by making the most of the interdisciplinary dialogues that the College cultivates.

Our aim is to support the development of distinctive new voices, to introduce ambitious graduates to the creative industries – and to support you in the realisation of your career aspirations.

The College has the most comprehensively stocked film arts production resource in the region, with everything from Super16mm Cinematography, through High Definition (HD) Videography and Surround Sound Design to facilities for underwater film and video. First year study of technologies, practices and contexts leads in the second year to supported specialisation, work placements and live briefs. Final year production-focused projects are directed towards developing professional careeer paths.
