BAFLM3004 Mainstream and Alternative Screen Cultures
This advanced-level course provides an overview of Hollywood cinema and goes on to consider alternatives to Hollywood¿s aesthetic and industrial model. Topics in the course draw on theories and critical perspectives of genres, narrative and film form, censorship, key themes and ideologies. The course teaches students to develop a critical understanding of different models of cinema, production and reception contexts and textual features. Films will be studied both as texts and in relation to social, historical and industrial contexts, including foreign productions.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
