**Overview**
Film and history have been intertwined since the invention of the moving image at the beginning of the 20th century. Whether film has been used to depict history or to sway its course, the overlapping of these two disciplines has long been a source of scholarly and cultural fascination.
In this degree, you’ll explore the key aspects of this relationship over a range of modules. You’ll explore the representation of history in genres such as documentary and propaganda films. At the same time, you’ll engage with the history of cinema.
You’ll also have access to first-hand archival experience at the East Anglian Film Archive, with which UEA has a special relationship. You’ll be able to use the materials to reconstruct aspects of local history or use them to make a film of your own.
**About This Course**
The BA History and Film Studies degree is an innovative degree programme, combining these two interlinking subjects, and offering opportunities for critically engaging with how historical events have been recorded and reconstructed through visual media.
Our Film, Television and Media Studies department is recognised as a leading centre for the study of British, Hollywood and Asian cinemas, popular film and television genres, and feminist approaches to media. Our History department is home to internationally renowned scholars of Europe and the Atlantic world as well as cultural heritage and landscape history.
You’ll explore world history alongside the history of film. You'll be able to choose from a wide range of options across the two subjects. Specially designed modules will bring film and history into dynamic dialogue by examining areas such as propaganda and documentary. You'll also have access to resources like our on-campus television studio and the unique holdings at the East Anglian Film Archive, where there are opportunities for practical experience in film-making and archival research. This is a unique resource which you can make use of during your time here. We have close links with the British Film Institute in London.
