Across these in-person sessions, you will learn how to capture authentic human behaviour on video, generate more insightful and meaningful footage for your ethnographic research, and understand how to translate your anthropological knowledge into the business context and vice versa. You will learn how to apply video recording and editing skills with your own equipment, enabling you to continue creating after the course has finished. With guidance from the course leader, you will master the art of distilling self-shot footage into a short documentary film.

This course explores the intimate, interdependent yet fragile relationship between words and
images and their combined potency for the creation of (cinematic) worlds.
