Falling Dust

2023 - present

The course explores a cross-disciplinary approach to communication media where students work to develop a narrative, create an atmosphere, and engage an audience. Investigations into a variety of directorial mis-en-scène inform guided experiments with different sketching, model-making, filming, and post-production techniques. Designing through making, each student learns to actively respond to and incorporate unplanned contextual phenomena in search of a certain vitality and presence. Students finish the course with a short 1-minute film accompanied by a working model and a concise booklet documenting the processes involved.
