Film Studies 271 - Introduction to World Cinema

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

This course complements Film Studies 251 by exploring the history of film outside Western Europe and the United States. The semester is typically divided into four units, each focusing on a different national or regional cinema. We study a new film each week, taking three main approaches: the history of a particular national film industry, how a director fits into both local and global histories of cinema, and the social terrain upon which filmmakers work. One unifying topic will help us look comparatively at some very different kinds of films.
