Film Studies
About this Major
Film Studies at Seattle University gives students a disciplinary knowledge of film as an art form – its history, aesthetics, craft, genres, and great directors – and it situates film in its global context with studies of cinemas all over the world.
Students especially interested in digital filmmaking can study screenwriting and film production, and undertake off-campus film projects and internships in Seattle, one of the most vibrant film communities in the nation. |
The uniquely Seattle University experience gives added-value to Film Studies thanks to easy access to internships, professional mentoring, and film industry networking in a city that is home to dozens of production companies, art-house theaters, and film festivals – including the prestigious Seattle International Film Festival and the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, both of which Seattle University sponsors.
The emphasis on critical thinking, ethics, social justice and service, small classes, and personal attention from faculty are hallmarks of a Jesuit Catholic education.
