<p>"The film program at Cornell University embraces the study and practice of film within artistic, theoretical, and cultural contexts. Students who major in film take a balanced selection of film studies and production courses. The film production program offers classes in 16mm filmmaking and video production, as well as state-of-the-art film editing equipment. The department offers advanced study in filmmaking to students who qualify on the basis of outstanding achievement in film studies and film production courses. An abundance of film classes in the departmentas well as in the areas of Africana studies, anthropology, Asian studies, comparative literature, English, German studies, history, psychology, romance studies, and women's studiesmakes the film program an interdisciplinary field, allowing for specialization to students' interests. </p>
<p>Students are also exposed to an immense sampling of films through Cornell Cinema, a unique program of the department. Cornell Cinema has been cited by The Village Voice as one of the nation's top campus film exhibition programs, offering Cornell and the surrounding community literally hundreds of screenings and services typically found only in large metropolitan areas. The Pentangle Film Series screens a wide array of film classics annually, and Cornell Cinema sponsors guest filmmakers, who often conduct workshops. Screenings of works made by students in the department's film and video production courses are wildly popular events at the end of each semester"</p>
