Department of Film

The Film department is based in the School of the Arts which is a vibrant multi- and interdisciplinary environment for research and teaching. Embedded in the East End’s artistic hub, our Department of Film is one of the most prestigious UK centres for screen theories practice where students not only create but curate and critique films.

We use film analysis and filmmaking to reframe global societal issues, leading multi-disciplinary work spanning subjects from philosophy, medicine and politics. Home to acclaimed academics and cutting-edge research facilities, including the fully accessible BLOC cinema suite and inter-disciplinary Centre for Film and Ethics, we attract the most exciting filmmakers and thinkers of the day.

Joining a dynamic cohort and a dedicated team of lecturers and practitioners, we'll help you grow professionally and personally by creating a supportive learning environment. We will support you to make the most of on and off-campus events, like filmmaking bootcamps, career sessions, and film festivals.
