A filmmaker’s journey makes a compelling story. The Certificate in Digital Film (CDF) is a full-time Diploma-Plus Programme consisting of modules on the history of film, the craft and process of scriptwriting and directing for film as well as a project.

Understanding film production. Taught by industry experts, CDF supplements your diploma, giving you full artistic control and confidence behind the camera and enhanced employability in the media production industry.
