For more than 20 years now, UVic’s Film Studies program has been focused on the study of movies from both a theoretical and international perspective. With 25 faculty members spread over eight departments, the range of specialties we offer is remarkable—from vampires and the ancient world to horror, gender studies, action movies and queer cinema, to name a few. Our faculty also specializes in films from Africa, Germany, Russia, Southeast Asia, Japan, the Caribbean, Quebec, France, Italy and China, as well as other destinations.
