You then have the choice of three further optional modules taken over the first two terms (one in the Autumn term and two in the Spring term).

In the past, a selection of the following optional modules have been offered: Cities and Landscapes in Film, History and Memory in Italian Cinema, Irony in Film, Sound Cultures, Television History and Aesthetics and Film Criticism, Film Style. The course is designed and timetabled to move from intensive teaching in the Autumn and Spring terms to intensive independent research and writing in the Summer Term.
