By studying Film Studies, students will enhance their critical thinking and gain a deeper appreciation of how cinema reflects and shapes society, culture, and history.

Ingmar Bergman

“Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul. A little twitch in our optic nerve, a shock effect: twenty-four illuminated frames a second, darkness in between, the optic nerve incapable of registering darkness.”

where can a level film take you?

There are plenty of opportunities that arise from studying A level Film Studies. For example, students can eventually go on to journalism, film production, advertising, teaching, and various forms of media production.
