CUNY - College of Staten Island: Tours & Paris - Film, Filmmaking, and Food in France

Spend three weeks during the summer of 2020 exploring the French culture and cuisine of the Loire Valley through the lens of a camera. You’ll learn about film theory, and French cinema from CSI faculty, and the faculty at the University of Tours. You’ll engage in specially curated screenings at Les Studios Cinémas. Then, in partnership with the European Institute of Food History (IEHCA), you will employ the theoretical strategies and aesthetics learned in the classroom into your own film and media productions.

The trip concludes with a three-day visit to Paris where you will explore the French capital and the history of film and art the city is known for.
