University of Toronto – Faculty of Arts & Science – Cinema Studies Institute

Throughout the 20th century, cinema continued to adapt as audience tastes shifted, as technological innovations changed the possibilities for entertainment, as the art world underwent its own permutations, and as the global landscape shifted. Now, in the early years of the 21st century, cinema continues as a fascinating multi-faceted phenomenon that intersects with other information and entertainment technologies and delivery systems, even as it retains connections with its iconic past. The Cinema Studies Institute’s undergraduate and graduate programs are designed to provide students with courses that reflect the diverse nature of the cinematic experiences that have unfolded over time, and that exist in today’s intensely intermedial environment.
