Sideways Looks 2010 is the annual show of student video, photography, journalism and web media produced by level 3 students on the BA Media and Cultural Studies course at the University of the West of England. Saturday 22 May is a one-day festival, with photographs and web media work on show, and films scheduled throughout the day from 10.00 until 19.00.
These students are studying for degrees in Media and Cultural Studies, Film Studies and Journalism, in a variety of joint and single honours courses in the Department of Culture, Media and Drama. Most of them study media and culture from theoretical, critical perspectives and their practice has developed over several modules during the course of their degree. Although they divide their time between media production and writing, they are very engaged, committed and articulate about their work. They are encouraged to develop media practices that are questioning and critical of existing media and of the ways in which our culture is usually represented.
