The Screen School

An initiative within the Department of Media and Communications, Goldsmiths

Background

The Screen School, inaugurated in November 2003, is part of a growing interest in film within the Department of Media and Communications and across the College. We aim to bring together theory and practice with industry, and to converge different disciplinary approaches. The Screen School has developed from the MA programmes based in screen media, from both the practice and theory sides of the Department. These include:

The Screen School provides a nexus for various perspectives and interests including: theorising film culture and policy; aesthetics; world cinema; practices of film production and scriptwriting; and new technologies and screen cultures.

Steering Group

The Screen School steering group consists of members of the Media & Communications Department: Zehra Arabadji, Chris Berry, Kay Dickinson, Tony Dowmunt, Janet Harbord, Julian Henriques, Judy Holland, Angela McRobbie, Gerry McCulloch, Dave Morley, Rachel Moore, Jim Rowland, Gareth Stanton, Richard Smith, Robert Smith.

Goldsmiths is a member of the University of London Screen Studies Group.
