Experimental Filmmaking II

from $675.00

Experimental Media II is a hands-on course that expands on the principles taught in the Avant Garde & Experimental Filmmaking class. It emphasizes the exploration and development of groundbreaking projects in experimental media. Guided by experienced media artists and filmmakers, students will work with digital and film formats to create pieces for a public media exhibition.

In many cases, media artists encounter challenges due to limited budgets when creating new media works for installation or exhibition, as the necessary tools, resources, and space are often inaccessible.

This course offers a solution by providing access to essential equipment and resources. Through active participation, discussion, collaboration, and experimentation in a small class setting, students will cultivate nontraditional storytelling methods and digital media creation skills. This approach opens up pathways for presenting new, meaningful work.

Additionally, the course will delve into experimental approaches to structure, style, technology, and gear, offering a comprehensive understanding of the realm of experimental media.

Course Details: 

  • Focus: Media artists & filmmakers

  • Duration: 9 weeks + 3 installation/breakdown days

  • Focus Area: Production and analysis

  • Environment: Dynamic and collaborative

  • Exploration: Modern experimental installation and unconventional cinematic experiences

  • Technologies: Mini DV cameras, DSLRs, Super 8, 16mm, Projection, and specialty digital tools provided by organization

  • Fab: Wood, walls, and other customary tools and materials provided for installation

  • Approaches: Nontraditional storytelling methods

  • Guidance: Creation process from concept to production

  • Labs: Hands-on practical sessions

  • Production Pipeline: Step-by-step guidance through production stages

Showcase: Special exhibition during SPRING BREAK/SXSW 2025

* This course is intended for students who have completed our Avant Garde & Experimental Filmmaking course and/or those who have an understanding of both production and historical context of experimental film, film artists, and media arts.
