Welcome to the website for the East Tennessee State University Minor in Film
Studies.
The Film Studies Minor seeks to educate students about film in an
interdisciplinary context. The goals of this program are to encourage serious
consideration of film as an art form; to explore film as a medium of
communication; and to examine the power of film in shaping attitudes, values,
and our understanding of society and the world.
Courses are designed to provide students with knowledge of the techniques of
the filmmaking process, the historical development of film as an institution,
film theory, methods of critical analysis, and an awareness of the relationship
of film to broader issues within various disciplines.
We invite those with an interest in studying film as a fine art to browse
through our website. Thank you for your interest in the Film Studies Minor at
East Tennessee State University.
