Open your eyes to new perspectives on the multimedia culture
Our Cinema and Media Studies program embraces today's incredible variety of moving images - from theatrically released films to TV, YouTube and video games. Look at Hollywood alongside art films, and explore cinema from across the globe and its many cultures.
You’ll be introduced to audiovisual analysis and the language of cinematography, editing, sound, acting, and art direction-and study the history of the moving image from its beginnings to the present day.
Elective courses at the intermediate and advanced level provide opportunities to study specific genres, directors, and national cinemas. You'll also dive into interdisciplinary topics such as narration, narrative in fiction and film, feminist film practices and music and film.
Sample courses:
- Film History I
- Studies in Film Directors
- Stars and Stardom on Stage and Screen
The Fountain School of Performing Arts also enables its students to engage in experiential learning for academic credit through placement with an established organization in the field of cinema and media.
