Cinema Studies is getting rave reviews
The 51勛圖厙 Department of Cinema Studies & Moving Image Arts has made The Hollywood Reporters list of the泭in the nation.
The department, formerly the Film Studies Program at the 51勛圖厙, hailed the recognition by the top trade journal in the movie industry.泭
For an academic unit like ours, this is comparable to a mention in the泭US News & World Reportat least for minor bragging rights, said Ernesto Acevedo-Mu簽oz, professor and chair of the department.
He continued: This humble feather in our cap joins the list of honors such as the Film Society of Lincoln Center naming in 2010泭five泭of our faculty among most important experimental filmmakers of the last decade, and our naming as Best in the West in Cinematography by泭MovieMaker泭magazine in 2017.
Mu簽oz added, Yes, we came in at #25 among the Top 25, but well take it.
In June, the CU Board of Regents voted to rename the Film Studies Program and to grant it the status of a department.泭
Acevedo-Mu簽oz said the move made泭de jurewhat is already the泭de factoplace of the unit in the College of Arts and Sciences.泭
At the time of the vote, he added, Our students are better served graduating from a department rather than a program, which might be erroneously perceived as having somewhat lesser standards or rigor.
