Emory University - Film Studies

About Us

Created in 1985, the Film Studies program at Emory is an affiliate of the Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts, with four full-time faculty members who are widely published and who teach a broad range of courses with a strong commitment to individualized education. The curriculum is comparable to that of the best small programs at private liberal arts universities across the country and offers a unique opportunity for graduate and undergraduate film study in a major urban center of more than two million people.

Film studies courses are taught in the multimedia-equipped classrooms of White Hall, which provide facilities for 70mm, 35mm and 16mm projection and video and laserdisc projection, as well as superior sound systems for lecture, discussion and screnning sessions. The Heilbrun also provides extensive viewing facilities, including a state-of-the-art, acoustically treated room with a large screen television for analyzing such materials.
