Offered by the Department of Humanistic Studies, Indian Institute of 
Technology (BHU) Varanasi, this aims to introduce to faculty members and 
research scholars the pedagogical approaches and ongoing research 
methods in the area of Film Studies. Over a century, films have been the 
most commonplace medium for storytelling and a form of entertainment 
which engages human emotions, imagination and memory. After the digital 
media revolution, we live in an image-saturated culture, and the ability 
to appreciate and critically understand visual texts is one of the 
essential skills researchers in Humanities and Social Sciences need. 
Within Indian academia, it is also the time when Film Studies courses 
are becoming part of UG and PG curricula in diverse disciplines. At this 
juncture, we hope this can enhance the necessary skills teachers and 
researchers will need to teach/research in the area of Film Studies. The 
program will help the participants understand the research 
methodologies, theoretical frameworks, contemporary research questions 
and pedagogical challenges in the field of Film Studies. Eminent 
scholars will be delivering lectures based on their research in the area 
of Film Studies, and the participants will also get a chance to interact 
with the resource persons at the end of each session.
