Optional Educational Trip
Depending on available opportunities and potential partnerships, an optional educational trip may be organized during the second semester. Extending certain aspects of the course, as well as the broader teaching framework of the Master's program in "Arts du spectacle", it will involve active participation in a film festival (screenings, meetings, round tables, etc.), such as the Luxembourg City Film Festival, and will be followed by feedback provided by part of the teaching staff of the Master's program.
