Brief information about the courses are below, but candidates are also
encouraged to propose other topics within their specialty research areas:
FILM 201 Critical Approaches to Film Studies: This course involves a survey
of the significant theoretical approaches that inform Film Studies. Topics
will vary from year to year but may include realism, formalism, semiotics,
narratology, psychoanalysis, phenomenology, and/or postmodernism.
FILM 204 Film Histories: This course investigates a specific period or type
of film history. It will situate cinema in a particular historical context
and examine historiographical approaches in Film Studies.
FILM 307 Film Industries, Institutions, and Cultures: The course focuses on
the field of film in its cultural, institutional and industrial contexts.
This may include consideration of cinema as industry; the cultures and
practices of film and related creative industries; or the role and
influence of cultural policies and institutions.
