Discover Film Studies
Students will gain a solid foundation in film analysis and production, setting the stage for professional and personal achievement. Our faculty members are accomplished scholars in their field, with research interests including international cinema (German, Russian, French and Asian), film production, gender and film, religion and film, and film history. Many are published authors in their discipline or have extensive production credits and experience in the film industry
We examine film as a "text" that can be studied through diverse critical and theoretical perspectives, including such approaches as:
- Formalism
- Neo-Historicism
- Psychoanalysis
- Gender theory
- Auteur theory
- Genre theory
