Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Film and Media Studies

  • While exploring the major, students will discover that “practice” is central to FAMS, for the program is a hybrid one which ultimately involves the integration of critical and creative practices.
  • Indeed, working with moving-image texts and tools, students will find that analytical writing can be as much of a creative, imaginative act as making their own original films.
  • And film and video production is also a critical practice, which draws on a rich history of images and ideas and engages all of their senses as artists and thinkers.
  • Whether they view in a movie theater, their home spaces, or on the move, moving images have become part of the air they breathe.
  • Their goal in FAMS is to look at and listen to these images and create our own with fresh eyes and ears, in order to better understand the world we live in and to actively participate in that world.
