Synopsis
Students in this course will examine the emergence, development, and global influence of world cinema, from pre-war European cinema and postwar Italian Neo-Realism to Indian and Asian cinemas, and many others. They will use both a textual and contextual approach to develop knowledge of how international film industries are positioned in light of changing cultural, economic, industrial, and technological contexts, and the increasing dominance of Hollywood. Students will also attend regular film screenings that show a broad selection of texts, from early to present-day films.
