MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

From Dakar to Hollywood, from the popular to the avant-garde, from the late 19th century to our contemporary moment, film studies explores a range of cinematic practices and ways of thinking about this globalized art form... Studying film at the university level means taking an interest in film's artistic as well as cultural meanings. You will develop skills in analyzing, theorizing, and historicizing cinema both in and beyond the multiplex experience. You will also learn to engage familiar films and genres through less familiar methodologies, as well as examine films from different cultures, nations, and moments in time. You may also develop screenwriting as well as filmmaking skills in your classes with us.
