Description
This is an introductory film course with a focus on the cross-cultural study of film from multiple world traditions. Students will learn the basics of film analysis and terminology. They will develop a familiarity with films made in diverse national contexts including, but not limited to Senegal, Nigeria, India, Iran, Korea, China, Columbia, Mexico, France, as well as some American films made by ethnic minorities. In all cases, we will think about the ideas behind the films, and how these different perspectives inform our own understanding of the world.
