Film Studies
Our teaching draws from a variety of disciplines in UCL and, because of this comprehensive curriculum, we offer modules in cinemas from Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
The Film Studies programme is housed within the Centre for Multidisciplinary and Intercultural Inquiry (CMII) at the School of European Languages, Culture and Society (SELCS), and draw on interdisciplinary, intercultural, and international thinking to explore the histories and forms of moving image material from across the globe.
We have particular research strengths in cinema history, film theory, and in an exceptionally broad range of national and regional cinemas. Our core faculty utilize a wide array of theoretical approaches to screen media in the classroom and in their research: from film theory and political economy to cultural studies and media infrastructural studies.
