Schwerpunkte / Curriculum - International Cinema MA

The course also offers opportunities for self-directed directed Independent Study which can be either a piece of production work or a theoretical dissertation and allows students to pursue their own particular area of interest (subject to suitable supervisory availability) within the named award programme.

"This MA is unique in looking at the cinema from a global perspective. The cinema conquered the world in a very short time and its parts have always remained interconnected, with Hollywood in a dominant position. Most film studies courses, even at MA level, only look at the parts - this one looks at the whole. As such it puts students in a position really to understand the context in which film and other media operate."
[Professor Geoffrey Nowell-Smith]
