Objectives
The academic study of film has, in recent years, become a popular alternative and/or complement to traditional arts subjects. Film is both a global product and a local experience. It is also part of the increasingly visual culture that is experienced almost everywhere in the world today. A grounding in this area will prepare you to work in the cultural industries and will also enable you to understand and analyse the role of the visual in today's world.
