Course Leader MA in Video Production & Film Studies at Thames Valley University:
Stephen is currently Senior Lecturer and Production Coordinator at Southampton Solent University. Stephen Desmond was previouly Senior Lecturer in Media at Thames Valley University, and was Course Leader for the MA Programme in Video Production & Film Studies. 2007/2008 was a highly successful year for Thames Valley University's MA in Video Production & Film Studies. The course generated strong interest and high-enrolment figures. The new cohort contained students from a variety of diverse, interesting and accomplished backgrounds. Graduation rates were good and feedback about the MA from students, staff and the external examiner Roger Mills was excellent. Roger Mills is the producer of 120 films for broadcast on the BBC and Channel Four. He is the producer of all the Michael Palin films including 'Palin in the Himalayas' and "Palin in Eastern Europe". Roger Mills wrote in March, 2008: "I have again found the work [produced in the MA in Video Production & Film Studies] to be of a very high standard, demonstrating excellent creative and technical aptitudes. I was struck by the very high standard that students in the MA in Video Production & Film Studies are achieving....I commend Stephen Desmond, Luciano Zubbilaga, and Witold Starecki for their careful mentorship of the MA students, and Stephen Desmond for the stewardship of the MA course, which has enjoyed great success and media attention in the last couple of years. I observe that Stephen, Luciano, and Witold are all involved in various production projects for television and festivals. As a working film-maker myself, I wish to emphasize how important it is that these MA lecturers are practitioners in the field, often involved with projects that have strong theoretical underpinnings. This is of tremendous value to the MA students, the video department at TVU, and the MA programme itself as it continually aims to blend theory with practice. In an environment where HEFCE clearly ring-fences production practice as research, it is a pleasure to be associated with such a research-active MA programme. " (Roger Mills, Producer, 'Palin in the Himalayas')
As Course Leader for the MA in Video Production & Film Studies Stephen has tripled student enrollments. The success and profile of the MA Programme has sky-rocketed. This success is detailed in a recent Ealing Times article attached at the end of this bio. The article can also be accessed by clicking here: EALING TIMES
