Film & Drama Studies

Film at Trinity is not a practical or professional training programme. Instead, the course is built on strong academic and intellectual foundations. Areas of study in the first two years include film analysis, the history of Hollywood cinema, introduction to Non-Western cinemas, aspects of European cinemas, cinema and Ireland, and theories of the digital image. Drama exists on and off the stage. Theatre happens in our everyday life. It is the basis for story-telling and other forms of performance within the creative arts.
