Film Studies

Course summary

Film is widely acknowledged as the major art form of the 20th Century and today film continues to be an important part of most people’s cultural experiences. This course allows you to study films and the ways in which they are experienced, the importance of visual representation in today’s global society and the place film has in communicating ideas, attitudes and cultural beliefs, both now and in the past. Over the two years, you will develop a critical and investigative approach to films, the film industry and film audiences, recognising the ways in which films represent people, places, ideas, issues and events to different audiences.
