Course content

This Masters in Film Curation offers you the opportunity to explore film curation in a variety of theoretical, historical and practical contexts. It investigates the material qualities of audio-visual media and explores the history and contemporary practice of projection and exhibition. In the core courses and beyond, we encourage you to adopt ethical academic and professional approaches and pay close attention to issues of identity, power, and access in your work. Throughout the programme you’ll get to work alongside industry-leading experts in film curation through workshops and placements, and you’ll be encouraged to respond creatively in both academic and practical exercises.

• Industry experts offering work placements and seminars represent organisations and festivals such as the National Library of Scotland’s Moving Image Archive, Alchemy Film and Arts, Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, Africa in Motion Film Festival and Glasgow Short Film Festival.
• You will have access to the learning and archive facilities at the Kelvin Hall.
• You will be studying in Glasgow, one of the leading media cities in the UK and home to an extraordinary wealth of film festivals.
• You will be based at our Gilmorehill Centre which has its own cinema as well as extensive collection of video, DVD and digital resources.
