Film, Television Minor Approved New Minor in Film, Television Approved Fairfield University's Academic Council has approved an 18-credit minor in Film and Television which will begin in the spring of 1997 and will be housed within the Department of Visual and Performing Arts.
Students are interested because they think TV and movies are glamorous.
If the moments of creativity didn't exist, I wouldn't do it. The six-course minor begins with a new course Introduction to Visual Arts in Film and Television, and students can choose a track in film or television theory, history and production. In the required courses, Filmmaking I and II, students will learn the technique of filmmaking and produce 16 millimeter films, which are premiered at the annual Fairfield film festival. Of course, people don't look at TV as an art, but I defy anyone to say ER is not in some way art. Programs like that move people to their soul.
