Since its early days, cinema has been one of the most influential art forms of the twentieth century. Uniquely situated in the “film” city of Cairo, the Minor in Film at AUC integrates historical, theoretical, regional and topical studies of the subject, including exposure to the practical study of filmmaking. The general curriculum of this program covers the following areas: the development of cinema as an art form; the impact of cinema on culture and society; the history, thematic and stylistic trends within Egyptian and Arab cinemas; the development of theoretical and practical background and appreciation of the art of filmmaking; the aesthetic techniques used in production; and the relationship between cinema and the increasingly mediated visual cultures of the world.
