Film is a leading art form and a major means of communication of our time. The ANU Film Studies Program brings together different perspectives offered by a variety of courses in a range of disciplines and programs throughout the university. Film Studies courses also fit well into other majors such as Drama, and Gender, Sexuality and Culture, and complement courses in New Media Arts. The core course, Introduction to Film Studies FILM1002, described below, introduces students to both film theory and film analysis, seeking to develop in students a high degree of cinema literacy with which to make better sense of our increasingly visual media culture.

Students interested in the major are encouraged to consult with the Convener to assemble an appropriate sequence of courses. Please note that not all later-year courses are offered each year.

Requirements

The Film Studies major requires a minimum of seven courses (42 units) normally consisting of Introduction to Film Studies FILM1002 and FILM1003 courses plus five later year courses (30 units) from Groups A and B. Note that no more than 2 Group B courses may be included. Full details of List B courses will be found under their respective majors.

Assessment

As with all other courses in the Humanities, students are required to submit written work by the due dates, to attend/access all lectures and to attend all tutorial classes, and to present any prescribed tutorial exercises. Students are also expected to possess copies of the prescribed texts.
