ETHN 160 - Documentary Making for Soc Jus

Institution:

Santa Clara University

Subject:

Ethnic Studies

Description:

In this course, students will learn how to write, film, direct, and edit their own 10 minute documentaries that are committed to social justice and change. In addition to producing our own films, we will explore how documentary filmmakers use film as a medium to heighten the consciousness of their audience, combat negative stereotypes, give voice to marginalized or underrepresented groups, and raise social awareness about issues affecting diverse communities. We will examine the intersection of gender, race, class, spirituality, and sexuality in film, noting how these dynamics function to enlighten our global community. Writers in this course will be moved from idea to script and, ultimately, film. No prior experience required.
