About

Film Studies at Manchester represents an array of specialisms within a fascinating cultural medium.

Our specialist areas include documentary, fantasy and science fiction films, as well as American, British, French, German, Japanese, Spanish language and transnational Chinese cinemas.

Manchester is one of the top three student cities in the UK and has a vibrant local film culture that includes various annual film festivals and several cinemas, from independent and community cinemas to large multiplexes.

Over 100 screenings and live performances take place each year at the University's Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama, and our student-run Filmmaking and Drama societies provide many opportunities to network and collaborate on film-related projects.
