The instructors were knowledgeable and passionate, and the course materials were engaging and relevant. I gained practical skills in storytelling, cinematography, and editing, which I've already applied to my own projects. The course also helped me develop a deeper understanding of social issues and how to approach them in a thoughtful and respectful manner.

I found the 'Film for Social Change' course to be a valuable learning experience. As a student from Egypt, I was interested in exploring how film can be used to address social issues in my community. The course provided a solid foundation in the principles of filmmaking and social impact, and the instructors were supportive and available to answer questions. I appreciated the diversity of the course materials, which included case studies and examples from different regions and cultures. One of the most useful skills I gained was the ability to craft a compelling narrative and convey a message effectively through film. While there were some areas where I felt the course could be improved, overall I was satisfied with the experience and would recommend it to others looking to learn about film and social change.
