Undergraduate

On this course, students will explore the history, theory and art of film – the most universal of all the popular arts. Students will learn about the history of cinema as a social practice and an understanding of a wide range of different national and transnational cinemas, film cultures, styles and genres. Students will also look beyond the screen to learn about the process of making films – including making their own film – and to understand the role that film plays in society and culture. Leicester’s Film Studies BA provides students with the necessary skills to critically analyse film. Students will gain an understanding of how directors and producers approach their work, how critics and other audiences consume film and give voice to their opinions, and of the place of cinema within different social, cultural, historical and industrial contexts. The first year will cover the key skills and concepts to study film as an art form. During the second year students will work in groups to create their own short film, using their firm grounding in film theory.
