3.00 Credits
The course explores cinema as a serious art form-perhaps the major one of the twentieth century. Through the techniques of cinematic analysis, we challenge ourselves to move from viewing visual images in an uncritical and passive manner to analyzing how these images work on us and help shape our values and understanding. The films reflect different ethnic and cultural experiences in order to provide a comparative context. We view a range of films to develop a sense of film history. The difference between cinema as entertainment and cinema as art is a central issue. Another essential viewpoint is consideration of the human face as the most important "special effect" in film. Cross-listed MIAP 3363.
