The minor in Film and International Cultures allows students to study the rapidly expanding global visual culture. Students will explore the history, theory, aesthetics and criticism of film and other moving-image media on a global scale and in relation to culture, other arts, politics and propaganda. The minor also explores how the image and the film/propaganda industry shape the world we live in and the ways in which we conceive of ourselves and others.
Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified.
