Meet the Team

The film studies team are all passionate about teaching film and have years of experience designing the curriculum, teaching the subject and examining. When not teaching film, the team can often be found discussing the latest releases, as well as old classics they have rediscovered. They always welcome the opportunity to discuss the latest blockbuster or a rare independent gem you may have uncovered.

Our technicians are experts in media and film technology and love nothing more than discussing the latest equipment on the market. So if you are looking for some advice on how to get that perfect shot or are thinking about a new bit of kit, seek them out and have a chat.

As film teachers, we are often asked what our favourite film is, which is impossible to answer. Here are some films the team feels you should watch for a variety of reasons. These are not films that are on the course but rather films that we enjoy.
