Movies are the ultimate art, involving every mode of expression, from movement to music, from narrative to news. No medium is better suited to the study of communication and self-expression.
Movies are a peerless window into culture, revealing everything from our “common knowledge” to our secret desires. No form is better suited to the study of society’s attitudes, beliefs, and values.
F&M’s Film & Media Studies program opens these avenues of research to students across the curriculum. The program offers film history, criticism, and theory, and video and website production. Film & Media Studies can be a minor, part of a special major, or a concentration in a theater major.
