Course summary

The study of film as an art form and an industry is a serious academic discipline with its own theories, concepts and terminology. Film has been one of the most powerful mass media of the 20th and 21st centuries and its study encourages students to make connections with history, art, literature, music, psychology, sociology and economics. The analysis of film language develops skills of cine-literacy which are transferable to many other subjects.
