Self-Paced Courses
EFS Film School · Study · Self-Paced Courses
Courses to enter at any hour, and to keep without end — for those who require solitude, rhythm, and return.
Each is recorded in full: its lectures, texts, viewings, exercises, and resources, to be entered slowly, independently, and as many times as you wish. Bought once, the whole of it is yours — to move through in your own order, at your own pace, and to return to for as long as its questions stay alive in you.
Study here is a private discipline: a sustained encounter with cinema that unfolds in your own time, without losing intensity or direction. No schedule, no room to be in, no hour to keep. The descent, taken alone.
“Each session was expanding one’s mind, consciousness and vision. The philosophy and depths are endless and limitless — infinity of creation, deleting pressure, and exploration of the senses.”
“It confirmed for me that enrolling in this course was one of the best choices I could have made — and the curriculum I’ve needed for so long.”
“I will be sitting with this course material for months and years to come. I also intend to continue to learn from you in the future.”
All teaching at EFS Film School stands on three foundations:
A body of feature films, 2009 onwards — cinema conceived as a way of life, made in complete creative freedom. The feature films →
The film-diary kept since 2000 — offered within the teaching not as finished work to be admired, but as an open laboratory, entire. The project →
Founded, directed, and curated by Rashidi since 2000 — over two decades of making, curating, publishing, and sustaining a collective practice, from which both the filmmaking and the teaching descend. That history is documented in the Society’s publications, including Luminous Void: Twenty Years of Experimental Film Society. The Society → · The books →
