Transformative Media Creation & Reception

Transformative Media Creation and Reception

Transformative Media Creation & Reception

With most of the planet reeling from this pandemic, we are facing major shifts in ways of being, interacting and engaging with self, others and the world. We at the Integral Cinema Project and Campus Co-Evolve are rising to meet this moment by offering a redesigned version of our popular media course Transformative Media Creation & Reception. 

In this special offering, we will be focusing on each of us creating a short video to help people through this transition. NO PREVIOUS MEDIA MAKING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED, although experienced media makers are most welcome and will find this unlike anything else they have ever studied. You will be trained in a groundbreaking new approach to help you tap into the calling of this moment, both for yourself and for the collective. 

You will learn how to listen to what you are called to communicate through your own unique gifts and talents, and develop it into a short media project with the support of the faculty and learning community of this course.

Course Objectives

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course you will:

  • Know how to use media to communicate complex ideas through media-assisted embodied learning;
  • Understand how to use moving image media for personal and collective transformation, both as a creator and receiver of media, and to conceive, design, create, share and receive media in ways that can potentially cause it to act as a change agent on the individual and collective level;
  • Have created your own short transformative video experiment and gotten feedback from your research and support team, and from the whole class.
