 The two main film productions on MA Filmmaking are developed from the winning scripts of the annual Goldsmiths Best Short Script Competition, which every student in the department of Media and Communications at Goldsmiths is welcome to enter. This means that the main project scripts could possibly be written by students from outside of the filmmaking programme. However, all MA Filmmaking students are strongly encouraged to enter the competition. The closing date is at the end of the Spring Term.

"Now that our course has come to a close, I cannot help but express my joy about a year of experiencing so much learning. I’ve learnt a lot more than I expected to; not just about the craft of filmmaking, but more importantly, about the dynamics of the relationships that go into such a collaborative undertaking. And I have made true friendships beyond the level of collaboration with class-mates to the point that we can now consider ourselves to be colleagues in the same field. We encountered the mutual respect and genuine support  that each and everyone of us needs, especially when extending our capabilities to the utmost.”

"I have always believed that what doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger. There are things I like about the film I made at Goldsmiths and things I know I could have done better or differently, but the important thing is that I learned a great deal about the filmmaking process from the experience. You can’t learn filmmaking from a book; you have to go out there and do it. That’s exactly what we did, and we had a lot of laughs along the way. "
