A new summer program, “Argentina Cultural Studies: Writing in the Americas” offers undergraduates and graduate students from BU and other universities the chance to study writing and film in Buenos Aires, Argentina’s intellectual and cultural capital, and one of Latin America’s most sophisticated cities.

This summer courses will be offered on Argentine culture and on the work of Jorge Luis Borges, as well as recent literary and intellectual developments. Classes will take place on the campus of the Universidad de San Andres in downtown Buenos Aires. Students will be housed with families and will be provided with breakfast and dinner. Upon successful completion of the program, students will earn eight Boston University credits. See the International Programs website for details.

Boston University in Madrid is offering a new program on FILM STUDIES AND DOCUMENTARY VIDEO PRODUCTION combining advanced Spanish study with a unique opportunity to explore Spanish culture through the study of film and television.  It also offers students a rare chance to investigate some aspect of Spanish culture through the production of a documentary.  This class will be led by an accomplished Spanish documentary filmmaker and will entail in-depth observation and immersion into the culture.  The program is open to upperclassmen with an advanced level of Spanish language and a serious interest in both Spain and film production. Upon successful completion of the semester, students earn 16 Boston University credits.
