Course Catalog Description:
This course will engage with the history of film as an art form through a selection of significant movements, styles, filmmakers, institutions, and, of course, individual films from around the world. While this will not be a comprehensive study, it will address both mainstream, commercial films as well as oppositional, experimental, underground, and otherwise challenging works. Some of the wide-ranging selection of films we will watch and discuss: Germaine Dulac's La Coquille et le Clergyman (The Seashell and the Clergyman) (1922), Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers (1966), Julie Dash's Daughters of the Dust (1991), and Alfonso Cuarón's Roma (2018).
Class Description:
This course provides an introduction to the history and aesthetics of film. Special attention is paid to major film directors, genres, and styles; to the relation between film and other arts (literature, theater, photography, painting, music); and to the relation between film and society. Among the films shown are "The Birth of a Nation," "Metropolis," "Citzen Kane," "Rashomon," and "Bonnie and Clyde." The course is appropriate for non-major undergraduates as well as Art History and Cinema Studies majors. This course follows a lecture/discussion format. There are required discussion sections. Most films are screened in class but there will be additional films that students will be required to watch outside of class. The term paper is 6-8 pages long; it is not a research paper. There will also be several brief (one-page) writing assignments. Textbook: Bordwell and Thompson, Film History.
