Overview
About the programme
Film Studies researchers represent and combine a broad spectrum of perspectives, from critical studies of historical, technical, economic and/or organisational aspects of the production, distribution and reception of fictional and documentary film, TV and digital media, to feminist, queer, post-cinematic and decolonial perspectives on theories of audiovisual culture.
Studies at the University of Gothenburg examine minority and activist film cultures as well as mainstream culture, independent films, horror films, youth cultures, advertising, propaganda and documentaries.
Students develop into independent, critical and reflective film scholars, with a capacity to drive forward the development of theoretical and methodological perspectives and participate in national and international networks (e.g. by regularly presenting their research at national and international conferences, organising workshops and seminars, and through other collaborations within and outside the academic world).
