Narrative & Film of Dem Spain

Catalog description

This course examines narrative and film in Spain from the demise of the Franco dictatorship (1975) until today. In doing so, the course focuses on cultural and aesthetic renovations such as the cinema of Pedro Almodovar in the "movida madrileña" and the new representations of Spanish youth in the 1990s with the "generación Kronen." This course also analyzes additional approaches for understanding Spanish culture through the social cinema of Fernando León de Aranoa, and the role of Franco's traumatic dictatorship in today's society. Finally, we will examine the current socioeconomic crisis in Spanish society and how it affects younger generations.
