The
Screenwriting Programme
consists of specialization
modules
|
|
|
|
within
the EICAR Filmmaking
programme.
|
|
|
 |
The
Filmmaking programme
emphasis is two fold:
|
 |
Cross-disciplinary
courses that give
the students the
knowledge and understanding
of all the aspects
of visual storytelling
enabling them to
direct and communicate
with their collaborators
and to fully express
their ideas on film
or video. |
|
Hands-on-film
teaching where the
students “learn
by doing”
in a collaborative
environment. This
lets the student
develop his own
“creative
voice” through
teamwork. The students
have the opportunity
to work in most
film and video formats
including 16mm,
35mm, and HD. |
|
|
|
The
Screenwriting programme
is specifically designed
to give students professional
preparation for a career
as a film or audiovisual
writer. This is accomplished
through theoretical courses
and practical exercises
as well as extensive “learn-by-doing”
work where students will
have not only the opportunity
to write screenplays,
but see their screenplays
produced on screen within
the context of EICAR film
and HD productions. The
screenwriting modules
consist of small, workshop-style
classes where the student
will study the principles,
techniques, practices
and theories of visual
narrative construction
to help develop storytelling
skills.
The programme’s
final year consists of
writing a feature-length
theatrical screenplay
based on the treatment
developed the previous
year. |

|
EICAR
offers two degrees: |
|
|
|
Bachelor
of Fine Arts
is a 3 year programme
which provides a broad
introduction to the elements
of filmmaking with the
possibility to specialize
in Screenwriting. |
|
|
Master
of Fine Arts
is a highly individualized
2 year programme designed
for students who have
either a Bachelor’s
degree in cinema or Fine
Arts or who have had extensive
professional experience.
The first year consists
of intermediary and advanced
courses in the key disciplines
of filmmaking (cinematography,
directing, editing, screenwriting,
production) as well as
hands-on-film exercises
and shorts. In the third
semester of the first
year, the student has
the possibility to specialize
in Screenwriting. In the
second year the emphasis
is on the student’s
thesis screenplay accompanied
by workshops, and one-to-one
tutoring. Students also
have the opportunity to
work on all EICAR productions
in their area of specialization
and, when available, to
work on professional productions,
as interns.

as a powerful springboard
for students looking to
begin their film education
by testing the waters.
