Institution:

Cornell College

Subject:

Description:

In this engagement with _lm history, the class will screen and analyze an array of inuential silent _lms from the 1920s, from classics of early Soviet cinema and German Expressionism, to short _lms by the French avant-garde, to quirky British _lms and a brief glance at mainstream American _lm. However, the main adventure will be to explore a wealth of avant-garde _lms that have come out of the archives recently in dazzling restored collections: treasures of early American cinema and of the European avant-garde. We will study historical accounts of the 1920s in _lm history, including accounts of the London Film Society and early _lm critics, such as Iris Barry. The course will focus on _lm history, but will also introduce students to other areas of _lm studies through a _lm textbook that covers _lm analysis and theory. Prerequisite: writing-designated course (W). (Humanities) HANKINS
