Through the study of various cinematographic forms, styles and genres in historical chronology, students will acquire the skills necessary for a greater grasp of the study of films. Qualified critical evaluation of films requires the application of an interdisciplinary approach, which combines knowledge from aesthetics, art history as well as from cultural and literary studies. In addition to understanding the techniques used by film critics, students have the opportunity to become acquainted with a wide range of British and American films.
