This presentation examines films produced in a third year Master’s course designed to teach artist-teachers technical and creative applications for digital presentations. Students employed a variety of technical and creative applications through the use of visual quotations, colour, repetition, layering, text and transitions. Concepts drawn from film (i.e. montage, temporal expansion, overlays and parallel action, etc.) provoked narratives using both linear and non-linear modes of time. Lines of inquiry, prompts and practices will be shared to demonstrate how filmmaking provoked artist-teachers to create new understandings of place, self, and practice through an affective and embodied process of living during Covid-19.
