What the college says

This course is ideal for students who want to explore how and why films are made. A Level Film Studies focuses on the analysis and deconstruction of film, over a wide historical time frame. It allows students to engage with films, from early silent cinema to 1930s Hollywood films, to contemporary and experimental cinema.
