FMSA 300 S002: Film + Screen Arts Core
This Film + Screen Arts core studio allows for varying degrees of concentration and hybridity in a range of media practices, themes and genres. This is a revolving topics course in which individual and collaborative projects enable students to identify appropriate practices, and synthesize these approaches using film, digital cinema, audio, online, web-based, gallery-oriented, interactive, immersive XR/VR, and performative modalities in the contexts of film and screen arts. Thematic topics are offered regularly. Foundational media skills from previous semesters are the basis for innovative and creative risk-taking that embraces specific media processes and expands terrain between film and screen arts disciplines. Students take concurrent courses that support advanced/specialized, technical/conceptual proficiencies and explorations. Some of the project work is collaborative, developing students' multidisciplinary, team-working and project management skills. Students are expected to ensure that at least one of their third year core studio experiences involves a solo project. Students continue to refine their critical vocabulary, analytical and technical skills required for preparation for fourth year capstone productions. Students will have regular critiques, and a tight timetable in which the projects must evolve from concept to completion.
Each section of this course runs with a different topic. See here.
This course is subject to priority rules; see here.

Throughout her career, Matilda Aslizadeh has developed a dense visual language positioned between photography, video and animation that evokes the complexity and saturation of our contemporary media landscape. Her video installations and photo-based works draw on a vast array of visual influences -both esoteric and popular - to rethink narrative structures that persist in Western culture.
Her large scale productions use compositing techniques ubiquitous in Hollywood filmmaking as well as strategies that harken back to the early days of the “cinema of attractions” to generate fictional landscapes that form the background for storytelling.
Aslizadeh's work has been exhibited internationally in galleries and film festivals and has been the subject of several solo exhibitions including: Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery (2016) Simon Fraser University Gallery (2012) La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse (2009) SKOL Centre des Arts Actuels (2005) Or Gallery (2005) and Artspeak (2003).
