    Cinema and Cultural Studies embraces a broad field including studies of popular media and screen culture; Australian, Hollywood and art house cinema; everyday life, television and entertainment; consumption; computer games; the Internet; and global cultures. The specialisation offers subjects which are concerned with questions of media histories and narrative structures, film and screen aesthetics, identity and gender, sexuality and spectatorship, and class and ideology. Students encounter a variety of screen media, net-based cultures and popular cultures in order to consider their histories, their cultural significance, and theories that help make sense of how they relate to power, commerce and lived culture today. Through innovative teaching, students in Cinema and Cultural Studies encounter new ways of interpreting and analysing contemporary media and culture. Academic staff in the discipline are specialists in screen cultures and media histories; entertainment cultures; gender and sexuality; postcolonialism, European cinemas, cultural policy and media technologies.
