Juliana Montgomery, C’2006, arrived Spelman with her sights set on film and digital technology. Within the scope of film studies, Montgomery pursued an independent major that focused specifically on the history of African-American culture in film. In doing so, Spelman enabled Montgomery to study film from historical, cultural, political and theoretical perspectives, as well as to analyze film in relation to other art forms and fields of study.
