  • ENG 396: American Film Since 1940

    3.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    Documentary films were controversial long before Michael Moore. In fact, some of the first ever made involved elaborately staged scenes and fake dialogue. Since then, documentaries have continued to test the limits of truth, moving from intense realism, like Fred Wiseman’s Titicut Follies, to Moore’s unabashedly political Fahrenheit 9/11. But is one type really “truer” than the other? This course will examinethe origins of documentaries to help answer this question. In addition, we will explore how new and increasingly accessible technology is changing the industry. (Spring) Santos/ Three credits
