Film Studies adopts a critical, theoretical, and historical approach to the analysis of individual films and to the study of cinema as an institution. Courses analyze film as a medium that produces meanings through formal strategies; they investigate wider debates about cinema as a cultural form; and they examine industry developments and practices. The textual and social implications of recent changes in film as a digital rather than a photographic medium are also addressed. In addition, a number of courses in the program focus on world cinema and the history, organization, and cultural role of specific national cinemas. The silent era to the contemporary period are covered. Film Studies may be combined with other majors and with film production programs and courses.
