*Why pursue a doctorate in Film and Moving Image Studies at Concordia?*

Film and moving images are the dominant forms of contemporary visual 
culture. Because their reach transcends territorial borders and 
disciplinary horizons, and because of the complex way in which they can 
influence our views and our understanding of the world, moving images 
ask us to continually re-examine, re-interpret, and re-evaluate both 
/where/ and /how/ we stand in the world individually and collectively.

To make sense of this ever-evolving medium requires academic researchers 
who are committed to investigating its variegated forms, its history (or 
histories), its philosophies, its meanings, as well as the ideological 
perspectives that help shape or transform the ways we interact in a 
global society. *The doctoral program in Film and Moving Image Studies 
*endeavors to train the next generation of moving image scholars and to 
provide them with the critical tools with which to revisit the past and 
map the future of one of the most vibrant fields in the fine arts and 
humanities. It is a field whose landscape and boundaries keep shifting 
as its object of study both instigates and actively responds to 
artistic, economic, cultural and technological change.

Fostering interdisciplinarity in both research and teaching yet deeply 
rooted in the discipline of film and media studies and in the aesthetic, 
philosophical, social and political debates that have shaped it, the 
*PhD in Film and Moving Image Studies* provides an ideal environment for 
you to deepen your understanding of cinema and other moving image media 
from a wide variety of historical, cultural and theoretical 
perspectives. As a PhD candidate, you will be encouraged to expand your 
critical skills and deepen your approach to critical research methods 
for investigating film and moving image practices in different national 
and transnational contexts and periods. Our seminars, which are designed 
exclusively for doctoral students, host a robust range of scholarship in 
film and media history and theory that recognizes the value of pluralism 
in moving image research. At Concordia, you will join a vibrant and 
enthusiastic research community, and you will be mentored and work 
alongside our acclaimed prize-winning faculty members 
<http://www.concordia.ca/finearts/cinema/about/faculty.html> while 
pursuing your scholarly goals and developing your own original scholarship.

Our students position themselves at the forefront of new scholarship by 
organizing screenings, workshops and seminars that interface with 
Montreal’s rich cultural and arts scene and beyond, and by actively 
disseminating their own research through conferences and publications. A 
plethora of distinguished guests participate in these events, while 
faculty and students from other fields and institutions contribute to 
discussions and activities.

Montreal is a throbbing cultural metropolis with an exceptional range of 
film venues

and museums, galleries and artist-run centers
