Description

Subject Area: Film Studies

This course introduces students to some of the key debates in contemporary film theory from the 1970s to the present. It enables students to view and study a variety of filmmaking practices--including political cinemas, cult film, experimental film and video, as well as mainstream cinemas--and looks at some of the diverse ways that film has been understood and debated by both filmmakers and film theorists. Provides a foundation for upper level study in Film Studies.
