About this course
Film Studies and Languages and Cultures of the Middle East, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia is a demanding and intellectually rich combination that takes cinema seriously as both an art form and a cultural document. Film Studies asks how moving images are made, how they create meaning, and what they reveal about the societies and historical moments that produce them. Pairing this with deep engagement in a specific world region means you develop not only critical tools for reading film but also the language skills, historical awareness, and cultural knowledge needed to understand films on their own terms, rather than through a purely Western critical lens. Studying at the School of Oriental and African Studies, one of the world's foremost centres for the study of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, you will engage with cinemas that are too often marginalised in mainstream film educat
