Film studies at The College at Brockport is an interdisciplinary minor that focuses on the history, theory, aesthetics and politics of cinema. The program is designed to help students develop critical viewing skills, discover diverse film cultures, and learn the principles of film and video production. Through a variety of perspectives, the minor provides a critical understanding of cinema as an art and an industry, a form of entertainment and a tool for social change.
