Rooted in Denmark's artistic documentary tradition, this intensive course focuses on identifying and developing each participant's personal pictorial language. Through conceptual introductions, practical film assignments, and subsequent readings, participants will explore their unique artistic expressions.

During the course, each participant works with their individual aesthetics, working methods and personal concepts through a series of short, intense filmic investigations, followed by conceptual introductions and visual readings, consequently identifying the contour of the participant’s artistic voice, style, palette and moves.

The basic methods and concepts draw from the artistic documentary tradition at The National Film School of Denmark, which seeks originality through the individual background, sensitivity, thinking and movements of the artist.

Film director and teacher Arne Bro will utilize this tradition in the form of short theoretical introductions and visual analyses of each participant's assignments, interpreting them with filmic and existential questions.
