Welcome to Film Studies at Michigan State University. We offer interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate programs in the Department of English that engage students in the history, theory, and aesthetics of international cinema. Courses examine cinema across a range of national contexts, and encourage students to understand cinema as an art, a business, and a technology of representation informed by race, gender, sexuality, politics, and economics. Our classes consider the historical emergence and technological transformations of motion pictures, as well as their relationship to the other visual and literary arts. Film theory and criticism also inform our two production-oriented specializations in Fiction Film Production and Documentary Expression.
PLEASE NOTE: The CAL Film Studies specialization has been phased out and replaced by the Minor in Film Studies under the aegis of the Department of English. Students who were planning on graduating in fall 2009 or spring 2010 with a film studies specialization should contact Ruth Mowry or Ellen McCallum about their status.
