The Cine-Files is the online journal of the Department of Cinema Studies at Savannah College of Art and Design that showcases the work of SCAD students and alumni. We intend the journal to provide a meeting ground for film lovers to share their serious reflections on the cinema. We believe that cinema – in all its eclectic forms of the past, present, and future – is both pleasurable and substantive, and we devote these pages to its passionate analysis.
Cinema Studies at SCAD provides students with a background in the traditions of cinema and the theories of storytelling and image making. This background may augment their preparation for a wide range of careers and artistic endeavors. We offer a graduate Master of Arts degree and an undergraduate Minor. Our curriculum highlights important developments and movements in filmmaking. Special attention is given to social, cultural and political backgrounds that have influenced cinema. Through the course of study, students become familiar with the language of cinema to support their discussion of various genres, alternative modes, and national and ethnic thematic motivations. The program is based in a diverse learning environment. In addition to courses dedicated to cinema history and theory, students may explore animation and film production, and take elective courses in literature and art history. We offer a yearly film series, The SCAD Cinema Circle series, that brings cinema classics to the screen of The Trustees Theatre, free with SCAD id. The Savannah Film Festival, sponsored each fall by SCAD, offers a venue for students to meet directors, writers and actors from around the world, view new films, and participate in workshops and discussions with prominent filmmakers.
