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. ---- To sign off SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
