Radicalizing Vision Workshop

This class is a workshop extension of
FPFV-442-01/642-01, Radicalizing Sound and Image.
In a smaller workshop setting and with the aim of
making a radically innovative final film project,
students will explore and research experimental
work made in mediums other than their own, i.e.
music, photography, painting, literature, poetry.
Students will be encouraged to discover parallel
inspirations, illuminating ideas, unexpected
roadmaps and innovative methodologies by examining
artworks other than film. They will be urged to
explore and identify unconventional structures and
alternative approaches to both form and content in
order to discover different strategies for making
their own radical moving image work. To begin,
students will be assigned research projects that
they will present to the class. As the semester
progresses, students will develop their ideas with
the aim of completing a film (or at least having
one well on its way) by the end of the semester.
Works in progress will be critiqued. Graduate
students may use this class to further develop
their thesis projects. There will be required
readings. It is recommended, but not required,
that students have
either previously taken FPFV-442-01/642-01 or are
concurrently enrolled.
