MA Film Studies at Freie Universität Berlin

Programme overview

Film Studies is a master programme at Freie Universität Berlin, offered by the Department of Philosophy and Humanities (Institute for Theatre Studies Seminar for Film Studies) and leading to the Master of Arts (M.A.). It has a standard duration of 4 semesters, German as the language of instruction, a start in the winter semester. Engaging with new and older forms of the art of film represents the starting point of an increasingly differentiated understanding of the moving image: history, aesthetics, and the theory of film and/or audiovisual media both constitute the subject and have provided the conditions leading to the emergence and impact of the cinema, which include the interdependence of various cultural and aesthetic systems.
