ENG 206 - Film Hist: The First 50 Yrs

Institution:

Cabrini University - Closed

Subject:

English

Description:

Film is a unique art form, a revolutionary mode of communication, and an expansive industrial enterprise that has made an indelible mark on world culture since its introduction at the end of the nineteenth century. In part, this course is a chronological journey through world cinema's first half-century, though it also requires students to think critically about the themes and aesthetics of the films, movements, and national cinemas discussed, and how they at once helped to shape and were products of the cultural, historical, and industrial moments in which they were made. Topics include cinema's precursors, early documentary forms, the emergence of sound cinema, German expressionism, and early Hollywood classics. 3 credits
