Welcome to the Department of Cinema at the University of Hartford.

Our majors are immersed in viewing, discussing, writing about and making films. Our faculty are engaged teachers who have written extensively about film in their scholarship and are also accomplished filmmakers whose work has been shown at competitive film festivals. A variety of courses in film analysis and production are offered; these examine a broad range of film genres.
The study of film at Hartford is based in the liberal arts which provides a well-rounded education for our students that enhances both their understanding of film and abilities as filmmakers. Majors can also take courses in a variety of other programs related to media and creative arts.
