Programm - International Cinema MA

This programme provides an overview of the cinema in a worldwide perspective, with the opportunity to examine the work of individual filmmakers in more detail.
Born at the start of the twentieth century, the cinema soon spread to all parts of the globe. It became a means of expression for cultures the world over, but also an industry dominated by a handful of mainly American companies.
Uniquely in the UK, this course looks at all aspects of the cinema phenomenon; at aesthetics and economics, at the work of individual filmmakers in all corners of the globe and the activities of large corporations, and at the inter-relations between all these aspects.
Additionally, as part of our Media Arts postgraduate provision, it provides a thorough grounding in the study of the media as a whole, enabling students to get a clearer picture of the place of cinema in the wider world of global media.
