Moving image at Kingston
Our activity covers a wide range, including film, television, new broadcasting media, animation, and design for film and television. Staff are both high-level practitioners, working in the professions as well as with students, and academic researchers in such areas as early cinema, film and philosophy, contemporary Hollywood and American Quality Television.
Our practice-based work includes sound design, community-based film and photography projects, and international documentaries. We have affiliations with the BFI and the Natural History Museum, and are one of the founder members of w.in.c films, an independent collective of women filmmakers. We offer many events based on talks, screenings and masterclasses, which are open to the public as well as to all staff and students.
