Introduction
Starting September 2008, the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema will be offering a Ph.D. in Film and Moving Image Studies. This unique and innovative program in Canada will center on four areas of specialization:
• Film and Moving Image History
• Film and Moving Image Aesthetics
• Film and Moving Image Theory
• Film, Moving Image and Cultural Theory
As an academic field of inquiry, Film and Moving Image Studies draws from several other disciplines, including art history, literature, communications, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, drama, semiotics, making it a highly interdisciplinary domain of study whose parameters are continually shifting. The doctoral program in Film and Moving Image Studies aims to highlight this interdisciplinarity with courses and research that reflect and even define the field's disciplinary shifts all the while situating Film and the Moving Image within the globalization of culture, knowledge, and industry.
This is an academic degree with no studio component.
