TWO EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES - Dr Karen Pearlman, Head of Screen Studies at the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS), is looking for people with great ideas for two new AFTRS courses run out of her department.  Check out:

Graduate Certificate in Screen Culture – an opportunity for aspiring critics, commentators, dramaturges, festival directors, teachers, administrators, project officers or creative producers to encounter the key ideas that shape our screen culture and develop and articulate their own.

And a world first Graduate Certificate in Webisodes – in which we will issue each student with a camera and a laptop that they will use as a visual artist might use charcoal and a sketch pad. Development, story, performance modes, adaptation, and cinematics will be explored in classes and put into practice through creation of an online episodic series in any form...

Drop Karen a line if you'd like to know more about either AFTRS Grad Cert:  Karen.Pearlman@aftrs.edu.au
