Overview

With University of East Anglia's innovative MA in Film Studies and Curation, you'll explore film cultures, stretching from the historic to the contemporary. You'll learn about the workings of the global film industry and the ways in which local, national and transnational film industries work together, while gaining knowledge of the theories, histories and methods central to the discipline of film studies. You'll also learn how to apply those methods in professional contexts through curating film practices, working on film festivals, and digitally preserving archival materials.

You'll learn about the workings of the screen heritage sector through hands-on curatorial work with film and through collection-based research with our industry partners. You'll also work alongside academics as they organise and curate public-facing film festivals, learning about important aspects of the film industry that are often hidden from view. You can take optional modules that develop practical learning in heritage management and digital media production, depending on your own career aims and ambitions.
