An in-person seminar by Dr MaoHui Deng (University of Manchester) on how dementia-friendly screenings in the UK are both caring cinema, and a form of colonial exhibition practice.
An in-person seminar by Dr Miranda Anderson (University of Edinburgh) on 'fission-fusion' cognition, our understanding of what constitutes minds and selves, and how these dynamics play out in both the making of films and through film characters and what they represent.
An in-person seminar by Professor Charlie Keil (University of Toronto) examining the label of 'transitional' when applied to the era of silent American cinema, and how it has persisted as a distinct category.
Are you interested in studying film at Edinburgh?
Exploring crucial concepts in the development of film theory and film-philosophy, one one-year taught Masters programme (MSc) centres on the criticism, analysis and interpretation of auteur cinema, with a focus on European and American film.
We also supervise PhD research in film theory, film-philosophy, various national cinemas, the work of individual filmmakers, and cinema in relation to other art forms.
