Description:

Integrated Arts This production course investigates the work of film and video artists who have produced work critical of a specific social or political situation. Whether didactic, subversive, agitprop, rant, provocation, or documentation, these works employ inventive solutions to visual aesthetics and narrative structure. Works by Guy Debord, Carolee Schneemann, Jonas Mekas, Martha Rosler, Antonio Muntadas, and Yvonne Rainer, among others, are examined. Readings augment the screenings and class discussions. Students are also expected to apply these investigations to the production of three video projects. Prerequisite: Film 201-202.
