Yale's Film Studies Department and Yale Summer Session offer a selection of outstanding courses by some of the university's most esteemed faculty members. Many of these classes are in such demand during the regular school year that only Film Studies majors have been able to gain admittance. Now they are open to all on a first come, first serve basis. Courses also take advantage of the summer format to provide students with intensive and focused experiences impossible to achieve during the regular school year.

WORKSHOP DATES: June 18 - July 27
