RegisterCourse Overview
Contemporary cinema is an artistic activity, a cultural practice and a technological phenomenon all at once. Our Cinema Today short course will introduce you to thinking about, exploring and analysing cinema today and we will consider two vital questions:
- What are the key changes that cinema has undergone in recent years?聽
- How have these affected our experience as spectators and students of film?
The course is structured around six key themes:聽
- Movie-going
- Digital culture聽
- World cinema聽
- Film festivals聽
- Film criticism聽
- Film history
The course will enhance your ability to analyse films and introduce you to some essential theoretical texts in film studies. You will consider contemporary practices and immerse yourself in cinema culture by meeting film professionals working in the exhibition sector and by visiting the BFI library and film archives.
Assessment is via a research report of 1000 words (25%) and a 3000-word essay (75%).
As a student on this course, you will study alongside 糖心logo入口 students enrolled on one of our undergraduate or postgraduate courses, giving you the opportunity to network with a range of 糖心logo入口 current students whilst you learn.
