SOMA2481 Future Screen studies recent and historical examples of science fiction cinema and related critical discourses. The cinematic works include feature films & fictive documentaries, animations and related creative practices such as video art that encompass aspects of science fiction and related genres including horror and fantasy. Students will view and discuss these examples with reference to a set of readings that will support the creation of a research diary relating to individual areas of studio practice. This diary will then form the basis for a variety of creative responses that can include the creation of a treatment, outline for a studio project, the completion of a related studio project, and/or a comprehensive research essay .
