Literature and Film Studies at the University of Toronto Scarborough

Transform your understanding of cinema and learn its unique “language” — you’ll unravel influential films, dissect their cultural impact and develop a skillset that transcends the screen. You’ll choose from a range of courses that focus on specific filmmakers, movements, genres and eras, and we frequently add new courses on special themes and the most critical topics in film studies. Guided by our expert faculty, you’ll develop strong research skills as you investigate film both as an art form and as a dynamic part of literature and other cultural productions.  

We enhance your skills in comparative thinking, and give you constant opportunities to engage critically with a range of thought-provoking issues. You’ll expand your horizons and transform your understanding of film as you choose from courses that investigate dystopian worlds, superheroes, video games, avant-garde cinema, documentaries, theoretical approaches to cinema and much more.
