Overview

Film MA program offered at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts offers you a springboard to position yourself as an artist and filmmaker. The curriculum is based on an intense discussion of documentary approaches, the exploration of new technologies and the development of narrative concepts in short, feature-length and serialised films, and in installative forms.

Key facts:

Both in terms of concepts and content, you will learn to work at the intersection of material development, cross-platform narration, animation techniques, motion graphics and experimentation in film and fine arts. In the artistic field, we facilitate an in-depth investigation of “expanded cinema”, which includes your engaging with art, performance, theatre and spatial forms of film on urban screens.

Programme Structure

The programme is structured along modules dedicated to your practical work, your written thesis, the theoretical and practical framework of filmmaking, and transdisciplinary work, including a range of elective courses.
