The UB launches a postgraduate in Documentary and Current Affairs that focusses on the production of documentaries and news content for prime-time distribution.

There are still places available on this course that covers techniques in financing and development of documentary as well as analysing different models of documentary production.

The term documentary covers many audio-visual projects that document or tell stories about reality, however these can be wildly different in the way in which they are made, the type of public they target, the objectives they seek to achieve, the philosophy behind them and even by the codes of ethics that govern them.

This postgraduate course aims to focus on a type of documentary that is not usually the most studied but which, paradoxically, captures the maximum interest of the public: documentaries and current affairs.  This subgenre competes successfully with prime-time television, as both our productions Google and the World Brain and Falciani’s Tax Bomb are testament. It is also the most produced subgenre in Catalonia, both by independent producers and in-house by the public broadcasters, and which moves budgets of hundreds of thousands of euros throughout Europe. The course’s faculty members include Polar Star Films executive producer Carles Brugueras.

Registration closes on September 25th. All the information you need to know you will find in this link:
