BA in Film Studies

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz

Program Overview

Film is a form of art in its own right, but not every film is a work of art. Films are also entertainment, propaganda, and/or cultural and historical documents. Film Studies, as a hermeneutic discipline, analyzes and interprets its subjects by reconstructing the questions to which films provide the answers in pictures. Film Studies as a minor on the Bachelor's degree program, comprises course units (modules) in the fields of film analysis, film history, film aesthetics, and film theory. Furthermore, issues of media adaptation (literature to film) dramaturgy, and narratology (for example, film genres in cinema and television) are addressed.
