About Film Studies MA in Queen Mary University of London

This MA places you at the cutting-edge of film studies. You'll explore a range of different approaches to the study of film, including genre and textual analysis, audience studies, and media archaeology. You'll consider some of the most significant issues in film today: how does film affect our bodies? Why is film so drawn to urban, cosmopolitan and diasporic cultures? 

You'll also explore the international language of film, examining shot composition, editing and sound, as well as considering a range of film theorists and philosophers from Giorgio Agamben to Vivian Sobchack. You'll be taught by experienced filmmakers and by leading academics.

On our core course, you'll visit a museum or gallery* to look at film in institutional contexts beyond the cinema. Our workshops will help you develop your particular approach to researching and writing about film. 

You’ll also be studying film in one of the great cinematic capitals of the world: London was the location of most British studios and it remains the centre of the UK film industry. We’re a short tube ride away from the British Film Institute (BFI), the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) and the film archives at the Imperial War Museum.
