General description

The Film Studies major places film in the historical and current context of the arts and media of the 20th and 21st centuries. It imparts a deeper knowledge of the history, theory, aesthetics, and technology of film and the cinema. It places special emphasis on extending students’ ability to link audiovisual artifacts with other media and arts, and to embed them in a broader discursive setting on an interdisciplinary basis. By equipping students to do their own methodologically reflective research and engage on an historical-critical basis with the subject at the interface with practice, the study program qualifies them for an academic career, but equally for demanding work in film culture, the film business, or film policy.
