The MA in Contemporary Art and the Moving Image (CAMI) is a collaborative degree programme focused on the vibrant intersection of contemporary art and moving image art.
This unique course merges the expertise in film studies and critical theory in the Film Studies department at King’s College London with the specialised knowledge in modern and contemporary art history at the Courtauld. Shared between these two leading institutions, CAMI enriches students’ learning by enabling both cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional exposure and experience.
Students are taught by a variety of specialist staff across the two institutions in modules that focus on artists’ film and video, contemporary cinema, digital and time-based media, and curatorial practice, across different disciplinary and geographical contexts.
In writing their dissertation, they will be empowered to explore a research question that excites them, with support from academics who are leaders in their fields.
This programme is designed to support students who are interested in developing their critical thinking, research, writing, public presentation and programming skills, which prepares them to work and excel in a wide range of professional and academic settings. While the programme’s curricular emphasis is on critical research and writing, there will be opportunities for practise-based research in the module focused on curation and public programming as well as in other possible film studies electives.
