Why Film and Screen Studies?
The Minor in Film and Screen Studies allows students to study cinema both as a specific art form with its own history and language and as a medium that participates in the broader field of literary and other cultural production. The program encourages comparative thinking and offers students the opportunity to engage critically with various issues, and encourages students to become reflective, sensitive, and avid viewers and readers about film and related media.
