The Department of Cinema Studies & Moving Image Arts aspires to integrate the critical, historical and theoretical study of cinema, media and the visual arts, with artistic and commercial practices. Our program offers the degrees of BA and BAMA in critical film studies, and the BFA and MFA in film and video arts. Film Studies also offers an interdisciplinary MFA degree with the Department of Art and Art History. 

The Department of Cinema Studies & Moving Image Arts screening facilities are equipped with 16mm, 35mm, and DCP projection.

The International Film Series screenings are $8 for General Admission, $7 for CU Students/Seniors over 65, and FREE for CU Film Majors.

The First Person Cinema program, started in the 1950s, is the longest running experimental film show case of its kind in the world. Each semester we bring in visiting film and video artists to present their work to the campus community and the public.

In memory of Stan Brakhage, a selection of his films is screened every Sunday, during the semester, in ATLAS 100 at 7:30 PM.

Our post-production lab has state-of-the-art hardware and software.

The Department of Cinema Studies & Moving Image Arts teaches both Digital and Analogue Cinematography.
