Film Studies at the Freie Universität Berlin (Bachelor and Master)
The department of Film Studies at Freie Universität Berlin works in a key interdisciplinary field in the humanities.The study of the forms, both new and old, that the art of film and cinematic entertainment have taken over the years forms the essential basis for an ever-broadening range of different understandings of the mental activity of the images: Film Studies at Freie Universität Berlin covers not only the history, aesthetics, and theory of film and audiovisual media in general, but also the conditions under which film is created and the circumstances of its effectiveness, including the interdependence of various cultural and aesthetic systems (literature, painting, theater, dance, music, etc.). That being the case, the various subjects treated by Film Studies at Freie Universität Berlin can truly be grasped only from an interdisciplinary standpoint.
