MA in Film

Film is the most important mass medium and art form of modern times. Shaping our modes of perception and communication, it is popular in its appeal and radical in its practices. It has transformed our ways of seeing and storytelling. Film-making and criticism are areas of immense interest, pleasure, and creativity. Supported by state-of-the-art film teaching and production facilities, the MA in Film at Queen's aims to offer a rich, diverse curriculum designed to enable students to specialize in practice-based and critical approaches to film and other media arts.

In particular, students will develop skills in the analysis of film and media arts and apply these skills in the production of creative projects and critical work. Throughout the program, students will acquire basic or enhanced film production skills. They will also acquire transferable skills valued by employers: creative thinking, verbal and visual communication, problem-solving, project management, and teamwork.
