Master Cinema Et Audiovisuel

Tuition fees are 289 USD per year.

The Master Cinema et Audiovisuel at Université Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne, in Paris, France, covers the study, history, and analysis of film and audiovisual media. This discipline examines cinema as both an art form and an industry, combining film theory and history with practical and critical approaches to audiovisual production and distribution. Typical subjects include the history of world cinema, film analysis and criticism, screenwriting, documentary studies, and the economic and legal aspects of the film and television industries. Students also study how audiovisual works are produced, financed, and circulated, and many programs in this field include coursework on emerging formats such as web series, streaming content, and video installation art. Because the discipline sits between the humanities and the creative industries, students develop skills in critical writing and research as well as familiarity with the practical realities of audiovisual production. Career paths for graduates include roles in film and television production, programming for festivals or cultural institutions, film criticism and journalism, archival and preservation work, and positions with organizations that fund, distribute, or promote audiovisual works. Some graduates pursue further research through doctoral study in cinema studies. The program runs for two years, is taught in French, and has an inferred start date in September, meaning applicants should have strong French language skills to follow coursework and discussions. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Situated in Paris, a city with a long history in cinema and audiovisual culture, the degree suits students with an undergraduate background in film, media, or a related humanities field.
