School: University of Calgary Faculty: Faculty of Arts Degree: Bachelor ; Co-op ; Honours Field of Study: Film/Cinema Studies Description: Film Studies is a broadly-based interdisciplinary program that examines film as both high art and popular culture, as aesthetic experience and as cultural industry, as an art form and as an innovative and developing technology with cultural, social and political significance. In Film Studies, you will develop a critical understanding of cinema and an awareness of the cultural, historical and social character of film. BFS students complete a highly defined set of core communications courses in the first two years of their studies, and transfer to the SAIT campus for their third and fourth years to complete a diploma in Film and Video Production as part of their University degree. The BFS offers more training in professional skills to complement your academic experience, and the Co-operative Education component will give you the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in up to four paid work terms of three months each.
