Course Description:

'' The International Film School Sydney’s approach to directing mirrors its philosophy of creativity of technique, artistry over craft, inspiration, intuition and instinct over meaningful symbolic theoretical rationality.

The director is a creative artist, not a technical crafts person. Artistry comes from a subtle yet sophisticated understanding of filmic storytellling, creating cinema, deployment of space and time, the use of sonic-image moments, thematic depth and richness, simplicity, economy, performance, experiential ontological impact, delicacy of touch, deeply rooted personal attachment to material, a zeal for creative possibilities, determination, an experienced understanding of sound and editing, and the drive to find the fresh artistic stake in every new endeavour.

In a phrase inspired genius. Film is the business of inspired artistry.

The creative act as genius

As Gertrude Stein once said "it doesn’t take a genius to be a genius. The act of creating masterpieces is about having a pure inspired feedback loop relationship with ones work: making and feeling, whilst feeling and making. Being in the zone cannot be some occassional mystical alchemy. It’s your job. It’s the work. You need to train to do it. Be it. To allow yourself to be inspired. Beyond that one needs to be a realist, a strategist, a quiet zealot and a pragmatist. Tempered with unfettered energy and the highest creative ambitions for your work."

Again such an attitude and approach needs training, honing, nurturing. You need to blossom. You need to excel. And be exceptional. In your own way. And beyond it.

The expansive journey
Our directing training takes you on a journey through a series of creative tasks and challenges using the most simple of means to the most complex: a structured path which at every step gives you the opportunity to create a work of inspiration. Or sometimes better yet, the opportunity to try your hardest, risk it all, do your best and fail spectacularly in such a way that a new creative self can rise from the ashes of artistic enlightenment.

If that sounds like hokum, then be a crafts person. We provide you with the support and insight of successful professionals who have the ability to identify your nascent brilliance, your own unique exceptional qualities. And thus your chance to find your own voice and wisdom.

The creative pact

You will learn to be a storyteller. But beyond that a creator of cinema. Your job isn’t to tell a story. It’s to use ’story’ to take us somewhere.

Whether you want to direct drama, tragedy, comedy, entertainment, documentary, arthouse, television or commercials, the directing training of The International Film School Sydney will guide you towards your greatest depths and heights of creativity.
