Our film program gets new name

. After a major overhaul, UdeM's bachelor's program in film is now the bachelor's program in film and media arts CONTENU - Audiovisual media have undergone a massive transformation, and in response, Université de Montréal has reworked its bachelor's program in film. The redesigned program, to be offered by the Department of Art History and Film Studies starting this fall, will be known as the bachelor's program in film and media arts A more flexible structure. The cinematographic experience is no longer restricted to movie theatres, while there is also a growing fascination with documentaries and new media practices. The bachelor's program in cinema and media arts offers a more flexible structure to reflect this new reality. Consequently, three separate courses (on making documentaries, experimental work and storytelling) will be added to the practical component, whereas the old program only offered one. A variety of electives will allow students to specialize in sound design or screenwriting, and will allow students to take classes in other disciplines such as the humanities and IT (for students who want to create on digital platforms).
