Other Lives of Time

Catalog description

Other Lives of Time takes a decidedly poetic approach to moving image and cinema. Part studio, screening, discussion and critique, we will watch, discuss and dissect works by artists and filmmakers from across the globe that use personal form and distinct techniques to communicate idiosyncratically. Readings will explore contemporary notions of time and cinema while screenings prioritize nonfiction and fiction works that have mainstream audience potential. Assignments will expand student’s filmic language as they work over the semester toward the completion of a short film that employs a singular structure.
