Cinema

SIU Cinema students outside learning

Our bachelor of arts in cinema program focuses on the history, theory, and practice of the still and moving image. We emphasize experimentation and exploration. Because of our small class size, you’ll work directly with faculty and easily find a peer group. You’ll also have opportunities to collaborate with other programs on campus, making you a more well-rounded media maker.

Bachelor's Program

Visual storytelling is the heart of our Cinema program. Our foundational courses places you in the history of film, gives an understanding of how culture and technology shape our increasingly visual society, and promotes hands-on technical film-making.
