THE FACULTY
 
The members of the faculty in the program are Professors Christopher
Faulkner, Mark Langer, Andre Loiselle, Laura U. Marks, Patrick MacFadden,
George McKnight, Charles O'Brien and Zuzana Pick.
 
ADMISSIONS
 
This is a two year M.A. with thesis.  The minimum requirement for
admission in either a full-time or part-time capacity is a B.A. Honours or
the equivalent in Film Studies or a related discipline with high honours
standing.  Related disciplines might include Mass Communication, Art
History, Literature, Canadian Studies, Women's Studies, and History.
 
THE PROGRAM
 
The program aims to develop in students a broadly based expertise in the
discipline.  The study of Canadian cinema is given a high priority, but
provision is also made for the study of other national cinemas, as well as
for the study of other traditions outside the mainstream, such as women's
cinemas, and minority and regional practices.
 
Questions of critical and historical method and problems of theory inform
all of the courses in the program.  This conceptual emphasis is in line
with the central development in Film Studies as a discipline over the past
twenty-five years.  The Carleton faculty represents a wide range of
knowledge on the practices of various national cinemas (American, British,
Canadian, French, Latin American, Soviet/Russian, Eastern European), on
film theory, film history, animation, experimental film, and on video art.
 
FUNDING
 
The Faculty of Graduate Studies will provide a number of funded teaching
assistantships for 1998-99.
 
LOCATION
 
Carleton University is located in Ottawa Canada.  In addition to the
research facilities provided at the university, students have access to
major research collections at the National Archives, National Library,
National Art Gallery and other institutions.
