– Reading: Students will be required to read articles, books, research journals on cinema and cinema history, and works by film critics.
– Writing: Students will be required to write reports, reviews and film critiques
– Watching films (at theaters): Students will go to movie theaters (about once a week) and discuss, analyse the films they watch afterwards.
