Film Studies in Paris, France

Fall Global Seminar 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.
