Giving you a critical and evaluative understanding of film within an interdisciplinary context, this programme encourages you to understand the role of film and cinema within a range of socio-cultural arenas. Forging the links between film theory and film practices, cultural politics and state or foreign policy, it will also allow you to assess the notion of film as a social process engaging with issues of representation, production and consumption.


Contents

The programme is modular and offers a structured approach that includes taught core and optional modules such as Cold War Film|, and Death and the Moving Image|. Alongside this you will undertake training in research skills|, culminating in an independently researched 20,000-word thesis.

You will gain a firm grounding in different approaches to the analysis of film, a broad knowledge of the history of cinema and developments in film theory, and the ability to evaluate these in relation to films and film cultures.

You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
