Film and Philosophy BA Hons

Lancaster s combined Film and Philosophy degree is taught jointly by academics in the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts (LICA) and the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion, which is home to 10 philosophers. Your degree will provide you with the information and theoretical frameworks for understanding films as crucial cultural artefacts. You ll examine cinema s aesthetic importance in the context of an increasingly visual and media-oriented culture, while investigating the connections between contemporary art, theatre, music and film. Lancaster s course is academic rather than vocational, but you will have the opportunity at each year of the programme to make your own digital film using the University s state-of-the-art equipment.
