Description:

This course offers an introduction to American cinema as art form and medium of cultural communication from its earliest years at the end of the nineteenth century to the present day. We consider the evolution of the Hollywood industry, film form, cinematic experience, genres, independents, social and political movements, and issues of national identity. Students taking this course develop skills to approach film as informed and critical viewers of style and content. Through film screenings and discussion, we explore relationships between movies and the images and ideas Americans have had of themselves.
