Why study Film and Television Studies?

Film and Television Studies at UQ introduces the language of screen media and the principal ways in which they are written about and analysed. You will study arthouse cinema, blockbuster movies, classic Hollywood, silent film, Australian film and TV, documentary, reality television, quality drama, recent Netflix shows, and the emergence of digital deepfakes. You will deepen your understanding of how the screen has been used to tell stories, make arguments about the world, explore complex ideas and perspectives, and evoke intense emotional and physical experiences. You will explore the technological, aesthetic, and industrial evolution of film and television, their status as art, their complex relationships to reality, other artforms, cultural and political change, and assess how these are shifting in the digital age. With the guidance of UQ's world-leading film and television scholars, you will hone your skills in screen interpretation and analysis, as well as argumentation, writing, video essays, and online archive research. Film and Television studies at UQ will equip you with transferable visual literacy, critical thinking, research, and communication skills essential for a flexible career path in an increasingly media-rich world.
