UIUC’s Media & Cinema Studies BA blends film theory, production basics, and digital-platform analysis. Students deconstruct Korean New Wave aesthetics, edit documentary shorts on Adobe Premiere, and mine TikTok metadata for virality patterns. Collaborations with WILL Public Media, the Ebert Center, and game-design labs foster multidimensional storytelling skills. Graduates curate festivals, analyze streaming algorithms, and create content that navigates shifting cultural landscapes.
