Film Studies is an interdisciplinary area of inquiry that analyzes the theory, history, practice, and cultural significance of film. Students will study a broad range of film texts and learn to appreciate a variety of aesthetic and filmmaking practices. Through a critical examination of film, students will also learn to appreciate the moral and aesthetic values of various cultures, ethnicities, races, and nationalities.
