The objective is to train competent authors and dramaturgs. By exploring the complex interaction of creative activity and analytic criticism, students acquire the skills required to succeed as professional authors and dramaturgs in the highly competitive film and television market. <br/></p> <p>The eight-semester program is composed of two parts. During their basic course of studies, students follow the curriculum of either Department Feature Film and Television Feature or Department Film and Television Documentary. From the idea to the finished film, the students learn everything they need, to conceive and produce a film. In making their own films, they gain their first practical experience.<br/></p> <p>During their following main course of studies, students are prepared in depth for a career as an author or dramaturg. They are coached very individually during the entire course of study, which they complete with a screenplay for a feature-length film.<br/></p> <p>A distinguishing feature of HFF Munich is that screenplay students can study in either the Feature Film and Television Feature department or the Film and Television Documentary department. This underlines our conviction that both fiction and nonfiction films tell their stories according to dramaturgic criteria. This also addresses the current development in the cinema and television landscape – where we see fictional and documentary elements becoming more and more interwoven.<br/></p> <p><em>Chair Creative Writing</em><br/></p> <p><strong>Head:</strong><br/> <strong>Professor Doris Dörrie</strong><br/></p> <p><img src="creativewriting.jpg" alt="Beispielbild" border="0"> </p> <p>“Writing is first and foremost a craft. Practice. Continuing to write, staying seated. Whether it winds up being art one finds out much later. That's my main objective in my work with students: Understanding writing as a craft and thus losing one's fear of it. In this way, we can overcome the „national writing handicap“ caused by our deep-seated conviction in Germany that writing can't be learned.<br/></p> <p>Americans haven't stopped short of applying their terrible “can-do” optimism to writing. Long before the invention of “creative writing”, the notion existed over there that writing can only be learned through writing.<br/> </p> <p>And what is it I want to tell? And why? These two seemingly innocuous questions can easily drive a person mad, for nothing is more difficult to answer. That's the main fun in my work with students: digging deeper and deeper, like a mole into these two questions, equipped with good technique and good tools. Embarking together on these expeditions, what could be finer?“ <br/></p> <p>Doris Dörrie has chaired this chair since 1997. Seminars and workshops with nationally and internationally acclaimed instructors and writers round out the Creative Writing curriculum. <br/></p> <p></p> </div> </div>
