MM 410 - American Genre Film

Institution:

Baker University

Subject:

Description:

This class will explore various American film genres with an eye to understanding the artistic and societal factors at work in creating the "rules" of the genre (motifs, iconography, stereotypes). Students will use this information in developing a system of criticism to apply toward all film genres. This class will explore film as cultural record, and students will be expected to understand films in the context of the period in which they were produced, not solely as discrete artifacts. This class will rely on film screenings and group discussion.
