On our BA (Hons) Film Studies course, you’ll discover the history of global cinema from the avant-garde to Hollywood blockbusters. As well as learning the fundamental theories of film and how it both reflects and affects society, you’ll explore the language of film from the perspective of a film-maker and start to think critically about your creative work.
This will be key in the practical side of the course: making your own explorative short films in video, animation or 16mm format. You’ll be trained in all aspects of the craft, including camera operation, sound recording and editing, receiving regular feedback on your work from tutors and fellow students.
As the course progresses, our optional modules will allow you to further explore your interests or specialise for a particular career, with subjects such as screenwriting and film journalism.
At the end of the course, you’ll put all your well-practised skills to the test in a final-year project that, once complete, will be screened at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse. The best will also be selected for showing at the Cambridge Film Festival.
Throughout the course you’ll have opportunities to take part in extra-curricular events such as the Cambridge Film Festival, our Campus Cinema events and regular field trips (such as to the BFI and Tate modern), as well as attending guest lectures from key figures in the film industry. Our recent speakers have included Larry Sider and William Raban. You’ll also find more opportunities by joining one of our film-related societies, such as Media: Next Move Arts and Film Viewing.
Your studies will be supported by our team of expert lecturers and a close community of students and alumni, fostered through our dedicated Facebook group. We also have a Facebook Group dedicated to helping you find work experience on film and video projects – ask your Course Leader for more details.
