Apply to the VIP Module ‘Film, Media and Scotland’s Future’ for S2, 2023-2024
From ‘Outlander’ to season 6 of Netflix’s ‘The Crown’ whose filming captivated the town of St Andrews in spring 2023, Scotland is now a major destination for the filming and production of movies, television series and other forms of media such as Video Games and Virtual Reality.
Indeed, film and other forms of popular media are, increasingly, the world’s window into Scotland. Ultimately, what does Film and Media production tell us about Scotland’s current and future place in the world? Join this credit-bearing VIP module to find out. We are now accepting applications for Semester 2 of 2023-2024 (for either 10, 15 or 20 credits).
Cinema Cultures is imagined as a multi-semester project, with opportunities for students to work with partners locally (St Andrews Tourism, Fife Council), nationally (TayScreen, Screen Scotland, Film Edinburgh) and globally (Georgia Film). For students, this will provide valuable practical experience, developing leadership, teamwork, learning how to develop multi-disciplinary approaches to broad research questions and developing an innovative methodology to help us understand cultural industries in Scotland.
We encourage undergraduate and PGT students from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to apply!
The project might be particularly attractive to students from Film Studies, Management, Economics, International Relations and those interested in tourism, sustainability, local governance, the Arts and Media sector and cultural industries. To learn more and apply, visit:
