Course Overview

At Leicester, you will explore the history, theory, and art of film, the most universal of all the popular arts. During your time with us, you will gain a thorough grounding in 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. You will also look beyond the screen to learn about the process of making films, including making your film and understanding the film's role in society and culture. Our Film Studies BA provides the necessary skills to analyze the movie critically. You 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 the place of cinema within different social, cultural, historical, and industrial contexts.
