About Film Studies at UB

The new Film Studies program (FST) is an interdisciplinary BA curriculum in the College of Arts and Sciences, and is administered by the Department of Media Study. FST offers film related courses from the Departments of Anthropology, African American Studies, Art, Communications, Comparative Literature, English, Media Study, Romance Languages and Literatures, Sociology, and Women’s Studies, as well as from the Center for the Americas, taught by thirty different CAS faculty members. Throughout the FST curriculum, students approach film critically (filmmaking will be only a minor, and elective, component): they acquire historical, theoretical, and intercultural tools to study films from around the world and become capable of reading the art of cinema as cultural critics. Screenings, film festivals, the Buffalo Film Seminars (http://csac.buffalo.edu/bfs.html), and FST conferences will be offered to enrich students’ critical film expertise in Buffalo.
