Radical Film Movements: 1960s and 1970s Cinema

Catalog description

This course examines the new wave of radical cinema produced alongside the social, cultural, political, and artistic movements of the 1960s and 1970s both in the United States and internationally. Films of this time reflect the violence and energy of political and personal turmoil, the aesthetics of counter-cultural experimentation, an embrace of film as a subversive art form, and new ways of telling stories both in and beyond Hollywood. This course may provide a survey of radical cinema from the 1960s and 1970s, or may focus on a specific decade or country.
