How Do We Teach Filmmaking When the Tools Change Every Week?
A panel about teaching in a field that changes faster than a syllabus. Lecturers and practitioners ask what to teach at all when this semester's tool will be different next term, and what remains once you subtract the specific software: craft, thinking, the ability to judge. A conversation for teachers, but also for anyone who now has to teach themselves from scratch every few months.
