Welcome to the Department of Film Studies web site!

 

Welcome!

 

For three decades, The University of Western Ontario has offered programs in Film Studies. Our courses invite students to critically engage with the art of cinema, and to explore the global and historical conditions that have made cinema one of the most influential forms of visual culture. Our students develop strong skills in critical thinking shaped by contemporary, interdisciplinary scholarship.
