Overview:
The Department of Cinema Studies is one of the first university departments devoted to the history, theory, and aesthetics of film and the moving image. The approach to cinema is interdisciplinary and international in scope and is concerned with understanding films in terms of the material practices that produce them and within which they circulate. Film has been the primary object of study in the past; however, in recent years, the department has expanded to include other media that fall within the realm of sound/image studies (e.g., broadcast television, video art, and on-line technologies).
Special Information:
Approximately 3 undergraduate courses each semester are open on Albert to all students.
The majority of Cinema Studies classes open to outside students are restricted with access codes. Interested students should come to the department between 10 am - 4 pm to get an access code
Please be aware that if a course is described as restricted to cinema studies students it is not open to any students outside the program, regardless of whether their concentration involves cinema studies. Students should not e-mail individual faculty members for permission to register for such courses. Questions or comments about this should be directed to the Program Adminstrator, Ken Sweeny.
