Watch: While you’ll study, and enjoy, many more films at Glamorgan, these are key examples of just some of the major movements you’ll encounter.
- McCarey’s An Affair To Remember
- Welles’ Citizen Kane
- Truffaut’s 400 Blows
- Scorsese’s Mean Streets
Surf: The pages of the Society for Cinema & Media Studies, a professional organization for academics and students of film and cinema.
See: A blockbuster at your local IMAX Cinema. Experience a new release as its makers intended – big, loud and spectacular. You’ll find Wales’ first IMAX Cinema in Cardiff Bay.
Buy or Read: Film Art: An Introduction by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson, an invaluable look at the art of cinema, and a book you’ll return to throughout your studies.
Visit: Your local art-house cinema. Cardiff boasts Chapter Arts – a fantastic place to catch films you wouldn’t necessarily find on the Multiplex circuit. It’s the flagship location for contemporary arts, and has a great café/bar to boot.
