About

DocuLab is a donor-funded five-year program that will develop student-faculty documentary work in VCAM.

Students will spend ten weeks both on campus and in the field developing documentary projects, working with faculty, visiting filmmakers, and technicians. Taking advantage of the new filmmaking spaces and equipment in VCAM, the initiative builds on the College’s successful Interdisciplinary Documentary Media Fellows Program (WAKECapitalish) and the Hurford Center’s Tuttle Summer Arts Lab (The Pool Movie Project).
