FS 501-502 - Film Studies Practicum

Institution:

Westminster College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

The purpose of the Film Studies Practicum is to give students an opportunity to learn more about international films, directors, and cultures. The International Film Series provides a perfect forum for the practicum since the focus is on foreign film industries and their product. Students will actually take charge of the International Film Series: researching films for each semester’s lineup, presenting background information for the audiences, and leading group discussions after the films. Students will also be responsible for developing advertising for the series and sending out reminders for each viewing. The practicum experience each semester will culminate in a term paper, a critical analysis of one or more of the films presented in that semester. Students will take the practicum for two credits during each semester of the senior year (or two semesters total as required by extenuating circumstances, such as study abroad).
