Film Studies graduates can go on to many careers, including journalism, media consulting, film criticism, and any career that requires highly developed communication, analytical and critical thinking skills. Film and video majors may end up pursuing a wide variety of careers in the film, communications, advertising or television industries, including film editor, producer, director, camera, sound or lighting technician, casting director, or talent agent. Graduates of both programs may also choose to pursue further study in related disciplines such as arts administration, museum and curatorial studies, creative writing, journalism, and education. UBC has a “What Can I Do With My Major?” page for Film Studies: https://www.careersonline.ubc.ca/student/major.cfm?go=view&major=10 The Film Studies Association of Canada: http://www.filmstudies.ca/ is primarily an academic rather than a professional association, but it is still a starting point for those interested in the discipline.
