Seven Questions with... Barbara Kononova

Barbara Kononova This week we're joined by Barbara Kononova, Media student and President of UCL's Bafta-famed FilmSoc. Barbara chats to us about all things filmmaking at UCL, shooting on the same camera as Christopher Nolan and testing out the UCL East dubbing studio. What are you studying, why are you interested in this subject and what do you plan to do in the future?. I have chosen BA Media's filmmaking pathway (as opposed to the video games option), which combines theory with a practice-based approach to several areas of production through various genres and disciplines. However, it wasn't until I became FilmSoc 's Drama Producer as part of the 2022/23 committee that I developed an interest in the producer specialisation. Seeing a project through all the way, from its initial conception to its subsequent release, while working alongside a diverse, versatile crew is truly something special. As I continue to pursue this as a career, I am in the process of finalising my portfolio and applying for related MAs in and around London! What is the most interesting thing you've done, seen or gotten involved with while at UCL?.
