This programme aims to enhance your skills in the critical analysis of the underlying language of film. It seeks to provide you with advanced knowledge of the theoretical and historical aspects of film in a range of national and transnational contexts, and to develop and widen your knowledge of film as both a medium and an aspect of wider cultural histories.
You are also provided with training in a range of research methodologies specific to the study of cultural objects in general and film in particular, and a range of research skills including critical and selective data-gathering, archive work, synthesis of complex information, comparative analysis, bibliographical skills, and the application of information and communications technologies. According to module choice, the programme also aims to provide you with the knowledge and experience of film practice, incorporating film production and film exhibition.
