About the Centre for Film Studies
The Centre for Film Studies, which embraces colleagues from across the University, was established in 2005 to encourage interdisciplinary research. With an international advisory board composed on leading academics and industry professionals, the Centre organises screenings with visiting filmmakers as well as regular fortnightly research seminar where guest speakers and St. Andrews-based academics present their current research for discussion. These events attract students—undergraduate and postgraduate—from other Schools throughout the University.
Our events provide a mixture of screenings and scholarly discussions. We have hosted famed Soviet filmmaker, Aleksandr Askoldov (Kommisar), the darkly comic Spanish filmmaker Alex de la Iglesia (La Communidad), documentary activist filmmaker Nick Higgins (A Massacre Foretold) as well as stimulating presentations from Prof. Ginette Vincendeau (King’s College, London), Prof. Gill Plain (University of St Andrews), and Prof. Ib Bondebjerg (University of Copenhagen).
Research Activity
Members of the Centre are involved in research collaborations with academics in the UK, USA, Denmark, Canada, France, Austria, Turkey, Spain, Italy, and other countries and have attracted funding from various organisations, such as the AHRC, the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland and the British Academy.
In addition to guest speakers, filmmakers, and screenings, the Centre holds conferences and study days that enhance the research environment of the University.
In June 2006 the Centre hosted a major international inaugural conference,Cinema at the Periphery, which featured speakers from around the world and which welcomed an enthusiastic academic audience. Video of the presentations is available to St Andrews staff and students in their entirety. Clips of the presentations are available for viewing for those outside the institution. Papers presented at this conference appeared in a collection of the same name published by Wayne State University Press and co-edited by Prof. Dina Iordanova, Dr David Martin-Jones, and Dr Belén Vidal.
In March 2007, with the partnership of the Department of Social Anthropology and the British Academy, the Centre hosted the third interdisciplinary workshop in the British Academy Series on The European Roma: Theorising Marginality, Resistance and Integration entitledRepresentation and Effect: The Roma in Politics, Art and the Academy (23-25 March). The papers presented at this workshop will be published in a special issue of Third Text co-edited by Prof. Dina Iordanova and Dr Paloma Gay Y Blasco.
In May 2007 the Centre for Film Studies hosted an Indian Cinema Study Day, featuring speakers Prof. Rosie Thomas (University of Westminster), Dr Chandrika Kaul (History, University of St Andrews) and the Department’s own Prof. Dina Iordanova, Dr David Martin-Jones, and Dr Elisabetta Girelli. The event received coverage in the Indian press.
Continuing the tradition of a study day, the Centre for Film Studies hosted 'Sex in the Cinema' in May 2008. We explored the role of sex in mainstream cinema. We addressed the ever-moving dividing line between artful sex and pornography over time and through a broader context of world cinema. The programme featured a keynote address by Professor Linda Ruth Williams (University of Southampton) entitled "I know it when I see it": Sex, simulation and classification in mainstream cinema since the 1990s as well as a student-led workshop, a screening, and a roundtable discussion.
The Centre publishes a bi-annual newsletter that will soon be available online, regularly updated throughout the year. Please email us your contact information if you’d like to receive our newsletter.
Dynamics of World Cinema: Transnational Channels of Global Film Distribution
Leverhulme Trust –sponsored project (2008-2011)
In July 2008, Professor Dina Iordanova was awarded generous funding by the Leverhulme Trust, one of the most prestigious and largest research funding bodies in the UK, to conduct investigation into the global distribution of World Cinema.
Entitled 'Dynamics of World Cinema: Transnational Channels of Global Film Distribution', the study, which will run in the period 2008-2011, aims to examine the cycles of four distinctly active circuits of contemporary film distribution, and the dynamic pattern of complex interaction between them.

Info: What makes the LFA unique?
The London Film Academy is an exciting and innovative venture in practical film training based in the hub of one of the world’s leading film capitals. LFA runs professional-standard practical training in all the key areas of filmmaking. All tutors are working professionals. | The standard of education at LFA enables students to go out into the industry with the skills and experience necessary to find professional employment. |  |
| John Ward, DOP, Steadicam Operator (Full Metal Jacket, The Fifth Element, The Ninth Gate) and LFA tutor |
| So why choose a relatively new film school that is taking on the giants of the UK film school world? The answer is simple. The LFA punches above its weight and expects everyone who comes on the course to do the same. The LFA is small and personable. It is about passion for film. It is about people. Film-making is one of the most team-intensive industries around. If you can't communicate, co-operate and lead then you are going to struggle in anything. You're certainly going to struggle in film-making where you need everyone around you | |
| Dave Cray, LFA Diploma graduate 2004 |
Realistically, we all know a paper qualification isn’t enough to get a foot on the ladder in this competitive industry. What also counts is contacts and practical career advise and that’s what we provide. The LFA is unique in being able to offer all students free membership and access to events throughClub Panico@LFA, our emerging filmmakers' member’s club. The activities of the club aim to equip the students with a range of knowledge, contacts, skills, production support and discounted equipment/facilities hire to help students to make independent films and find work or work placements during our courses and long after they leave us.
Despite market forces, we continue to maintain our founding principle of affordable film training for all that is of a high standard and relevant to today’s industry. The school also supports cultural and social diversity with 50% of its intake comprising of international students from all over the world, selected from diverse social backgrounds. As a registered non-profit trust, we offer a higher level of accountability. All fees go into the courses and basic running expenses of the school. There are no hidden costs here at the LFA either. All equipment, facilities and materials, are provided for all workshops, exercises and short films and are included in the tuition fees.
The LFA is no fast food establishment. It is a small intimate film school, passionate about film and its students. As such, we continue to maintain a policy of small intakes on all courses, preserving a productive tutor to student ratio that allows for intensive group and one-to-one mentoring. Staff and tutors take pride in nurturing a uniquely intimate, intensive and creative energy within the school, facilitating a production house for innovation, professional development and excellence.
The LFA - a film school that gets results!
| It's undoubtedly a slick operation, filled with an infectious energy. It is almost as if, while other film schools churn out graduating class after graduating class with bored ease this youthful establishment is still excited to be home to movie makers, not yet cynical about the harsh world it is preparing its children for | |
