Film Studies

Film Studies Program
 
Objectives: The Film Studies faculty at Emory University offers a master’s program and a PhD certificate in the methodologies of film theory, history and criticism. The program trains its students to be astute and discriminating critics and analysts of film art; it strengthens their critical thinking through an awareness of the philosophical and aesthetic debates in film theory; and it provides students with a thorough knowledge of the cinema's history as a dynamic form of cultural expression. With this background, our MA alumni are well-qualified for continuing work toward the PhD as well as for administrative and/or teaching careers. Our PhD alumni are well-qualified for careers in teaching and scholarly research.

Additional Information: Film studies courses are taught in the multimedia-equipped classrooms of White Hall and the Rich Memorial Building, which features 16mm, 35mm, 70mm, and video projection equipment, as well as state of the art sound systems. Candler Library's multimedia center holds several hundred 16mm feature films, documentaries, and short films; several thousands titles on videotape, laserdisc, and DVD; and equipment for viewing these materials.
