Film Studies Minor

Students choosing the English/Film Studies concentration or pursuing the Film Studies minor will receive an excellent liberal arts education through the close examination of the many facets of moving image culture. We believe that a solid understanding of cinema entails a good grasp of history and the philosophical, psychological and political theory from which film theory draws. In this interdisciplinary program, students will also be exposed to a broad array of national and international films, as well as film translations of well-known works of literature. Students will analyze film from a variety of theoretical perspectives and become critical viewers of what is now one of the most predominant forms of cultural representation.
