Film and Media Studies
Film and Media major at the SAS offers the opportunity to study the complexities and nuances of contemporary media and audiovisual cultures.
SAS allows to study the field within a broad interdisciplinary context in an institution that brings together faculty from different disciplines and different countries trained at some of the world’s leading universities. While gaining a better awareness of the highly mediatized and interconnected world in which we live, Film and Media students learn to dissect the historical, cultural, economic, and political forces that shape our present through the production and circulation of moving images and media content.
Selecting this major, students will develop the necessary skills to analyze and contextualize audiovisual representations, ranging from photography and cinema to online media, within and across national traditions.
In addition, students will be able to choose from a wide range of electives that will help them to gain practical skills and knowledge in the field; for example, Scriptwiting and Media Production courses will offer them insights to the pre-production, production and post-production phases of the content making of different genres of films. Practicioners from Russia and beyond are often invited to students' ideas pitching sessions and film screenings.
