This program equips students with a comprehensive understanding of: The history of film; The key methods of critical analysis and film theory; The relationship between film style and its social and industrial contexts; and The variety of film genres and national cinemas. Wilfrid Laurier University's program also provides students with opportunities for hands-on production.
