Film Studies in Paris, France

Summer 2018

---

Program Overview

Paris, one of the oldest and most fascinating cities in the world, has fired the imagination of artists, writers, and students for centuries. Picture yourself spending a month studying in the "City of Light," immersed in history and surrounded by some of the world's finest art, architecture, and music.  As a participant in the Paris film program you won't have to imagine these things - you can live them.  The "Capital of the World" is your classroom as you study and see the sites and immerse yourself in a life of all things French!

Students in the film studies course will develop an appreciation of film criticism and aesthetics with a special emphasis on French filmmakers and cinema. Students will gain an appreciation of French film history, and in particular, the transatlantic collaboration between the French and American film industries.  A little French will go a long way, so students will be introduced to language and culture through a French survival course taught by Parisians.

Please note that this program takes place every other year, following the even numbered years.
