The Documentary Film School (DFS) is designed to give a new generation of passionate storytellers practical tools in the area of visual media.

It is a course where you can come in as a beginner and leave with some seriously good skills! The DFS is a filmmaking course in the University of the Nations, within the College of Communications.

“A documentary film is a form that allows us to walk in another’s shoes, to build a sense of shared humanity, that gives voice to the marginalised and the scorned, that strives to hold those in power to account.”

During the course, we want to connect to God’s heart and get a bigger understanding of how visual storytelling can contribute to needs in the world and bring kingdom values to life. Through practical assignments and hands-on practice, we will give you an in-depth view of documentary film and video production, from very basic skills to more complex concepts. You will write, shoot, and edit projects using adequate equipment.

Individual and group projects will be screened and critiqued throughout the three ­month school. Industry professionals will teach and supervise hands­ on exercises and practical assignments. The school emphasises excellence, relevance, and effective communication.

By the end of the three ­months, you will have acquired the technical skills necessary to write, produce, and market your story.
