Minor in Cinema Studies

The Cinema Studies Program of the Department of Media & Communication Arts at City College offers a Minor to highly motivated students who wish to learn about the art, history, and theory of motion pictures and related screen arts.

Audiovisual storytelling is one of the central experiences of life today. Thus the Minor seeks to develop critical thinking skills for analyzing and interpreting not only films themselves but also their contexts of creation, production, exhibition, and reception. The Minor takes an international view of cinema in order to prepare students for life in a globalized world. Films are both a mirror of the world in its diversity and a lamp to shine light upon it.  Films are now regularly understood as important documents for all fields of the arts, humanities, and social sciences.Students may use the Minor as a means of amplifying their studies in other disciplines.
