About this course
Film StudiesYou will expand your experience of film through taught units and screenings that focus on both classical and contemporary films, covering a wide range of film cultures from around the world. You will study mainstream and non-mainstream films in order to broaden your understanding of the history of film, as well as the debates and issues that are informing and generated by current practice in film and shaping its future. As you enhance your skills of close analysis, you will also develop an understanding of how film engages with socio-cultural and political concerns, placing the films you study in their historical context as well as thinking about current debates and future challenges for cinema as a medium. The course emphasises historical and theoretical approaches to studying film rather than practical production. Alongside your study of Spanish language, you will explore a range of options in visual culture (including film), area-specific history, linguistics and literature. The breadth of expertise among staff across Spanish and Latin American Studies means an unusually rich and broad curriculum. 80% of our staff are first-language Spanish-speakers, and language courses are taught by native speakers with specific training. You will also benefit from us working closely with the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and we maintain strong links with the Instituto Cervantes located here in Manchester.
