Film is a vivid
and pervasive visual registry of our times, and one of the most
important sources of global, national, and local narratives in the
world. The minor in Film Studies introduces students to the history and
theory of film with a distinct liberal arts focus. The program
provides students with a culturally diverse, international, and
interdisciplinary grounding in film studies, as well as a basic grasp of
traditional and innovative filmmaking techniques.
