The program in film and media studies is housed in the JHU-MICA Film Centre<\/a>, our state-of-the-art production and classroom facility located in Baltimore\u2019s Station North Arts District at 10 E. North Avenue. A short JHMI shuttle ride from the Homewood campus, these facilities include a 49-seat screening room, 600-square-foot sound recording studio, and a 2,000-square-foot cyclorama green screen soundstage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We encourage students both in and\u00a0out of the classroom\u00a0to challenge themselves, broaden their understanding of what film is and can do. All students should extend themselves to silent film, documentary film, experimental film, as well as to films of various national cinemas and reflecting various modes of production. In addition, majors and minors should regularly read and comment on the FMS blog,\u00a0HopkinsCinemAddicts<\/a>, and should attend\u00a0Film Society<\/a> screenings when possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur professors showed us how films touch on every aspect of the human experience, why certain films have such cultural relevance, how they inform how we live.\u201d<\/p>\nJane Miller \u201904, playwright and screenwriter<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nOutside the Classroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
