WS 355 - Latin American Women Film Directors

Institution:

Quinnipiac University

Subject:

Description:

The course explores the contributions of women filmmakers to cinema in Latin America and the Caribbean and traces the history of the medium in the region. From the golden age of Mexican cinema to the politically and socially engaged efforts of filmmakers in Argentina, Brazil and Cuba, films in Latin America historically have been a reflection of the socioeconomic forces at work in the region. The work of women filmmakers is also a reflection of those forces. In the course, students screen important works by women filmmakers and study how they fit (or don't fit) into the framework created by critics, filmmakers and the public. Every Year, Spring Courses offered as needed
