I'll be teaching Masterpieces of Cinema in the fall. Here's a list of some film studies web sites that I've found. I'll probably be adding more leading up to the course.

  • Film Studies Resources on the Internet: This one page guide was created by students at the University of Alberta, and it hasn't been updated since 1995. However, it does contain links on film journals, directors, academic aspects, and links to other film studies sites on the Internet. I think this is basically a "dead" page, though, and many of the links don't work.
  • Senses of Cinema is an online journal devoted to film discussion. Recent articles appear on the Bob Dylan documentary, music in The Royal Tenenbaums, and Robert Towne.
  • Film-Philosophy classifies itself as a "salon-journal" where members post messages on directors, philosophers, and specific films. Some good stuff is here, but the web site is designed poorly (kind of like Arts and Letters Daily), making it difficult to find specific subjects that you might be researching. It seems more like a site you just browse weekly.
