Film Studies

Description

The discipline of Film Studies involves the investigation of film from a variety of critical, theoretical and historical perspectives. Students are introduced to key cultural and institutional forces in the cinema industry and are also encouraged to explore the impact of technological and economic, as well as aesthetic, factors on film.

While Film Studies courses are predominantly academic, students have the opportunity to put theory into practice in video production courses, using digital video and computer editing software.
