TOPICS: AUDIOVISUAL CRITICAL PRACTICE in Spring 2026 (CM2910A)

This course explores audiovisual production and video editing, not only as creative tools, but as modes of critical inquiry. It is a highly creative, hands-on course designed for students to reflect critically on their own habits of media production and reception while consolidating their audiovisual skills and digital literacy. Students will develop foundational skills in audiovisual production, from image composition to the principles of montage, video editing, sound mixing, audiovisual remix… With each new skill acquired, students will discover alternative ways of weaving criticality and reflexivity into their media practices. They will use the audiovisual medium to ask questions and produce knowledge on the social, cultural and political issues of our times. Students will be encouraged to create videographic projects shaped by their (inter)disciplinary interests and engage creatively with media linked to their other ongoing courses or final thesis. No filmmaking or editing experience required.
