Film Studies

Course summary

The Film Studies A Level is an academically demanding but simulating and wonderfully varied course of study. This new and upgraded specification differs slightly from the previous course that has been running here successfully for some time now, but keeps at its core the opportunity to lose yourself in film and be fascinated by the history and power of the screen image. This course requires the study of films from different historical periods, such as the Silent Era, films made between 1930 and 1961, as well as and alongside contemporary developments in the cinematic art form. More specifically, the film studies course offers students a set of analytical tools that will help them to understand and enjoy films even more than already, as well as offering cinematic experiences. Film is the most open, stimulating and diverse art form, so if you want to find out more about the way it reflects experiences, messages and values about the world, choose this course.
