The most important aspect of the bachelor’s degree in cinema is the effort to understand the concept of art alongside a proper understanding of the industry and the current cinema market in Iran and the world. Cinema is a very attractive and exciting art, but it should be noted that this excitement, if not accompanied by education and effort in understanding history and other related sciences under the artist’s control, unfortunately, will not lead anywhere. Therefore, in studying cinema, familiarity with theoretical sciences is very important, as well as familiarity with the experiences of filmmakers, researchers, and directors, to be able to enter the vast market of this art in Iran and the world through understanding these foundations and hard work. This has been the guiding principle of Pars University in offering this field of study.
