German

Description:

4 hours. This course is a survey of the German cinema from its beginning to the most recent developments of the 21st century.

Students will be introduced to basic film terminology and techniques as well as to contemporary film criticism. The course is taught in English as the largest body of literature of German film criticism is in English. Most writing on film theory is also in English. All films have English subtitles, and all assignments will be in English. Prior knowledge of German is recommended but not required.
