Film Studies
Key Information
Why study this course?

Film as both a means of socio-political communication and as a form
of entertainment is a highly influential art form.
Film Studies at Keele is a theoretical degree programme in which you
analyse and investigate the possibilities of film, as well as its influence
on our understanding of history, the present and the future. You’ll learn
how film functions within society, how it explores individual, national,
sexual and racial identities, and how it has developed over time and
across cultures. This is a broad and challenging discipline, involving the
rigorous and critical study of films from around the world. You might
choose to focus on your own particular interests, such as film directors,
international cinemas, film cultures or film genres.
