Film was a dominant cultural medium of the twentieth century and a powerful historical force that shaped the period. Indeed it continues to reflect and form our present experience.
The educational goal of the film major is to provide a solid grounding in the history and theory of film and its relation to other forms of art. Students are introduced to visual storytelling, film technology, and the economic and sociopolitical context of the film industry. The trajectory of the major moves from introductory level courses (four are required), to intermediate-level (three are required), to advanced-level (including two labs and the senior seminar), plus two electives from the approved list. While the course of study is rooted in film history and theory, students take workshops in screenwriting and filmmaking and produce a script and a short film.
