Module Code
FLM7005
Film is the most important mass medium and art form of modern times. Shaping our modes of perception and communication, it is popular in its appeal and radical in its practices. It has transformed our ways of seeing and storytelling. Film-making and criticism is an area of immense interest, pleasure, and creativity. Supported by state-of-the-art film teaching and production facilities, the MA in Film at Queen's aims to offer a rich, diverse curriculum designed to enable students to specialise in practice-based and critical approaches to film, and other media arts.
In particular, students will develop skills in the analysis of film and media arts and apply these skills in the production of creative projects, and critical work. Throughout the programme, students will acquire basic or enhanced film production skills. They will also acquire transferable skills valued by employers: creative thinking, verbal and visual communication, problem solving, project management, and teamwork.
State-of-the-art digital production and post-production facilities, as well as substantial lighting and grips kits, and a new purpose-built 'black box', giving students the opportunity to film in a multi-purpose, professionally equipped studio.
Strong contacts with the local film and broadcast industry, enabling us to organise regular meetings with industry professionals, workshops for students interested in a career in film and the creative industries.
We are an Avid Learning Partner, and Film students are offered the opportunity to become certified in the use of Media Composer video editing, an industry qualification and valuable addition to any CV.
Screenings, lectures, and seminars are held in Screen 2 of the Drama and Film Centre - the newly refurbished cinema we share with Northern Ireland's leading independent cinema, the Queen's Film Theatre (QFT).
'Through a range of well-structured modules, the MA in Film has allowed me to explore cinema history, film culture and theory, and to develop my screenwriting skills. Lecturers have displayed a passion for their subjects, offering support and inspiration throughout the process. Overall, the MA has been a challenging and enriching experience. The course has opened up new avenues of enquiry that continue to complement my ongoing creative work.’
Ann Donnelly graduated from the MA in Film in July 2020.
'As a non-native speaker of English, this MA was a great opportunity for me to improve my language and writing skills. The theoretical aspects of the course enabled me to deepen my understanding and knowledge, while writing about aspects of cinema history and filmmaking I would probably not have encountered otherwise. The course also has a very challenging practical strand that encouraged me to experiment with new ways of filmmaking.'
Soléne Guichard completed the MA in Film in 2016, and her short film, Pictures of Me, was selected for the 2016 Los Angeles Cinefest short film festival.

Module descriptions:
FLM7008 Film Practice (20 credits; creative practice)
This is a practice-based course on the methods, processes and creative competencies involved in the development of a film project. The emphasis in the module is on the combination of theory and practice within a workshop setting to develop project ideas into a coherent form that can be successfully researched, shot, edited and exhibited. Accordingly, the course uses different modes of teaching and learning which are designed to complement each other in order to develop skills and awareness of the development and management of film projects in preparation for production.
FLM7010 Screenwriting (20 credits; creative practice)
This is a practice-based course covering the methods, processes and research techniques involved in the development of a screenplay, with a particular focus on the short film format. The course uses different modes of teaching and learning which are designed to complement each other in order to develop skills and awareness of the writing process. Students are encouraged and enabled to develop material through a series of writing exercises and assignments. Moreover, they are introduced to different approaches, formulae and guiding principles recommended for successful screenwriting. Class time involves workshops, screenings and script analyses. Students will explore the conceptual and practical aspects of screenplay writing underpinned by in-depth class discussion and feedback. As well as contributing to discussions during class, students are expected to support their colleagues by offering constructive critiques of each other’s work as well as by actively participating in script readings and workshops as the semester goes on.
FLM7012: Political Film: Form and Conflict (20 credits)
In tracing the relations between film and political conflict, this module examines how images – representations – of society have competed for significance at different historical moments, from the revolutionary experiments of the early twentieth century to the radical counter-cultures 1960s, and beyond. Throughout the module students study a range of international films, addressing such questions as: How has film language been extended and transformed by the pressure of contemporary political commitments and social circumstances? How effective are different approaches to political filmmaking (propagandistic, realistic, allegorical, satirical, essayistic, avant-garde, etc.)? Is it ever possible for filmmakers to articulate an authentically radical – dissident, even – political vision by means of conventional and essentially conservative film forms? Does a corrupt polity or repressive state necessarily discredit films made under its influence, or auspices? How important are filmmaking groups or collectives to the ideological integrity of political cinema? How important is the distribution history of a particular film to an assessment of its political significance? What does it mean to make films politically?
FLM7013: Film Industries and Digital Cultures (20 credits)
This module aims to introduce students to the various practices of film industry through a specific focus on European cinema. Methods and theories supporting the critical study of media industries through a series of case studies covering such topics as the marketing, critical reception, distribution and exhibition of films, looking in particular at the impact of digitalisation. In doing so, the course will also cover theories of national and transnational cinemas, globalisation, marketing and production studies. Students on this module will engage with theorisations of the production, promotion circulation and reception of cinema, and will be required to analyse both theoretical texts and primary source materials in order to gain fuller understanding of these topics.
This module also provides an overview of the methodological issues involved in the actual practice of carrying out research projects on the topics discussed. Students will learn about the various industrial approaches to understanding films and filmmakers, and gain the study skills necessary to conduct their own research project.
FLM7016 Avant-Garde and Experimental Filmmaking (20 credits; creative practice)
This module is intended to develop students’ creative skills and conceptual understanding of experimental filmmaking. The class is built around the development and production of a short experimental film.
We’ll begin by exploring how we can characterise or define experimental film. We will then consider important historical forms of experimental film, which may include essay, lyrical, and/or landscape films, looking closely at examples. By understanding the ideas, approaches and techniques of filmmakers working in these forms, we will seek to extend and develop our own filmmaking practices, and formulate a project for production in class. After this, we will focus on particular areas of moving image practice, including image making and sound recording, and develop our craft skills in these areas as appropriate. An important aspect of the class will be presenting and discussing student work.
FLM7017 Censorship, Regulation and Audiences (20 credits)
This module will introduce students to the various practices of audience and reception studies, and the debates surrounding film censorship and the regulation of cinema. It will explore how film censorship works both as a concept and in practice. It will use controversial examples to explore representation of different taboos including sex, violence, religion and language. In doing so it will also pay significant attention to the role of the audience; it will explore how audience responses to specific films change over time, how liberalising trends in society affect responses to cinema, and the framework of regulation which limits or controls access to particular films. Related topics which will be explored include art house cinema audiences, fandom, cult cinema and spectatorship. Additionally, the practices and methods of conducting audience research will be explored to consider how such research can help us to understand the experiences of viewing and to help us better understand the relationship between audience members and film texts. This module provides an overview of the methodological issues involved in the actual practice of carrying out research projects on the topics discussed. Students will gain the study skills necessary to conduct their own audience research project, as well as gaining presentation skills experience.
FLM7020 The Film Soundtrack (20 credits)
This module serves as a guide to the film soundtrack offering a critical overview of its history, technical processes, aesthetics and key theoretical approaches in order to elucidate its expressive and narrative potential. In addition to delineating the processes of production and post-production, it explores the nuances of the film soundtrack, examining how its various elements such as dialogue, sound effects, foley sound, environmental recordings, soundscapes and music coalesce to form a complex audiovisual relationship with the image. Further to this, it will also explore key scholarly approaches to film sound in order to enhance critical understanding of film.
