The information in this handbook is as accurate and up-to-date as we can make it. Statements of departmental policy are made in good faith and are an honest attempt to describe current practices, but they do not replace entries in university regulations. In the event of uncertainty, regulations take precedence.


1. THE DEPARTMENT OF FILM AND

TELEVISION STUDIES
The BA in Film and Literature and the BA in Film Studies are administered by the Film and Television Studies department, although modules are taught by staff from Film and Television Studies, English, French and German. This means that most administrative matters are handled by Film and Television Studies and all your personal tutors are from this department. The information below centres therefore mostly on Film and Television Studies, though at appropriate points references are made to matters that affect the literature departments (see, in particular, ‘staff’ and ‘curriculum’ below).

Location

The secretary and Administrator, Ms Tracey McVey, in room A0.13, plays a key role in answering queries, and the booking of rooms and keys (see section 2, Resources). Please note the office hours displayed on the door. They are normally:

Monday 8.15 – 6.15

Tuesday 8.00 – 4.00

Wednesday 8.00 – 4.00

Thursday 8.15 – 6.15

Friday 8.00 – 12.30
The Film Booking Office and Departmental Secretary (A0.12)

16mm and 35mm prints of films for projection are delivered to and collected from this office, which is staffed by Dr Adam Gallimore and Mrs Heather Hares. Adam is responsible for collecting essays in addition to managing the teaching collection, and arranging video/DVD screenings.

Adam’s office hours are:

Monday – Tuesday 8.30 – 5.30

Thursday – Friday 8.30 – 5.00

There are two display boards in the corridor outside the office, with information of a general nature concerning events in the field of Film and Television Studies (e.g. conferences). Watch general noticeboards, in the corridor, for announcements of open lectures by visiting speakers to the department or the university (also posted on http//www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/film/researchnews/seminars/)
