The Film Studies pathway approaches film from a critical and creative perspective in relation to the other arts, including media arts, and situates film production and consumption within a global and interdisciplinary frame.  The core curriculum provides students with the critical tools necessary for the theoretical and historical analysis of global cinemas as well as the creative skills required for the production of film, video, and digital media.
