Film & History

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. History is the study of how we and those before us interpret the past. Studying History means studying lives, events and ideas in times and places often very different from our own. History embraces everything from the rise and fall of empires, or the birth of new ideologies, to the contrasting everyday lives of people in a whole range of settings, across time and across the globe.
