What the college says

The course involves the study of mainstream and independent American and British films from the past and the present as well as more recent global films, both non-English language and English language. The historical range represented in those films is extended by the study of silent movies and significant film movements so that students can track the development of film from its early years to the present day and beyond. Studies in documentary, experimental and short films add to the breadth of the learning experience. Studying a diverse range of films gives the opportunity to apply knowledge and understanding of how films are constructed to a student’s own filmmaking and screenwriting.
