Course summary

Explore film from a variety of critical perspectives and understand film’s unique position in the media landscape. On this MA, we examine the aesthetic, industrial, cultural and political dimensions of a diverse range of film practices. You’ll develop your skills in research and critical thinking through an exciting range of innovative options. You also research a topic of your choice in the supervised dissertation project. We offer an advanced introduction to theoretical debates associated with the study of cinema, and contemporary approaches that are reshaping the field. You’re taught by experts specialising in areas such as:

  • gender and sexuality
  • global cinema
  • popular culture
  • documentary and experimental film
  • animals and the media
  • audience studies.
Brighton has a vibrant film culture, playing host to the annual CINECITY Film Festival. It is also home to one of the UK's oldest purpose-built cinemas – the Duke of York’s. We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
