OXFORD
OADF has established a base in Oxford in the Media and Performing Arts Department of Oxford and Cherwell Valley College (OCVC). This is an extremely exciting new opportunity, as the department already caters for media students. OADF will be running our Before You Go workshops and courses in film and editing throughout the academic year.
Attached to this association is our successful bid to support the media and performing arts department in becoming Oxfordshire’s first and only Apple Authorised Training Centre (AATCe). We begin Apple-accredited courses and workshops in parallel to our documentary film workshops in Oxford this month so students can gain an industry-standard qualification in media pro-applications. We will offer courses on Final Cut Pro, Aperture and Logic to enhance the technical understanding of academic students and researchers. These courses will be available as evening classes and out of term workshops, so as not to disrupt the university timetables.
We welcome all those interested in documentary filmmaking and in taking Apple-accredited exams. We implement a pedagogical structure within our courses that addresses ethical issues in the representation of others and socially responsible dissemination of film products.
