In this class, we will watch and discuss films important both to the portrayal of women onscreen and to the development of women as writers and directors. These portrayals, some positive, some negative, some more complicated than one word can express, can influence the ways in which we see ourselves and the ways in which we understand issues such as gender, power, and sex. In a more general way, this class will explore how students go about "reading" a film. Through study of selected films and readings, lectures, class discussion, and written assignments, you will learn to recognize and analyze film language (editing, cinematography, sound, special effects, etc.) and will be introduced to some major concepts in film studies. By the end of the course, students will have an understanding of the many ways films produce meaning and should be able to demonstrate your command of these basic skills to critically interpret those meanings through deep analysis. Films will include: Thelma and Louise (1991), Norma Rae (1979), A League of Their Own (1993), Elizabeth (1998), The Color Purple (1985), An Angel at My Table (1989), Lion In Winter (1968), and Boys Don't Cry (2000). Cross-listed as ARTS 135FW
