I enrolled in the 'Film for Social Change' course to learn how to create films that address social issues relevant to my community in South Africa. The course was very informative, with a good balance of theoretical foundations and practical applications. I appreciated the emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, which helped me develop a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between film, society, and social change. The course materials were well-researched and up-to-date, with plenty of examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts. One area for improvement could be the provision of more feedback and support for students who are new to filmmaking. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others who are passionate about using film as a tool for social commentary and critique.
