Cinema was the major art form of the last century, popular in its appeal and radical in its practices. It transformed our ways of seeing and storytelling, and continues to have an impact on all the arts, shaping the structures of contemporary culture. It is an area of not only immense interest and pleasure, but also experimentation and innovative critical investigation. The Film Studies degree programme at Queen's aims to introduce students to the widest possible experience of cinema. We offer a rich, diverse curriculum based around in-class film screenings, all of which are held at Queen's Film Theatre (QFT) under normal cinema exhibition conditions. Our Single Honours degree is also characterised by the integration of film scholarship and film production, with equal weighting given to both these areas.
