International Cinema

Catalog description

This course will offer students an avenue to satisfy global studies and humanities general education requirements via study of a wide range of films from different eras, nations, and cultures. This course seeks to introduce students to global history of film as an art form and how international cinema both responds to and influences the film styles that are more familiar to American students. Such a breadth of knowledge will both expand students' knowledge of world cinema and also enrich students' appreciation of American film by placing it in an international context. Finally, the course will examine not only diverse films but will also seek to understand the cultural and historical context that gave rise to these films.
