Film & Media Studies

Film & Media Studies at W&M

The Film & Media Studies Program will help you to cultivate a perspective that is interdisciplinary and global. You will explore how film and media not only represent but shape cultures, societies, histories and identities, both personal and collective. The core courses will challenge you to think critically and creatively about how film and media function as aesthetic and cultural practices, while our production classes will teach you the skills necessary to develop your own voice and make your own contribution.
