Class Description:
Are Italy and France white? What has been missing from "canonical" accounts of French and Italian cultural productions? What kind of cultural and artistic production has been emerging from "the new Europe"?

In this course, we will watch films and documentaries by non-white French and Italian authors to investigate how a new generation of "artivists" have challenged, complicated, and renewed traditional notions of national identity and national belonging in contemporary Italy and France. Afro-Italian award-winning director Fred "Kudjo"Kuwornu will be a guest in this course. He will zoom in throughout the semester, and lead two media production laboratories - one virtual and one in person - where students will learn how to create media products that are sensitive to issues of racial justice, social progress, and political inclusiveness.
Who Should Take This Class?:
Everyone! The class has no prerequisites
Learning Objectives:
Focusing on French and Italian documentary film&media, through screenings, guest lectures, and practical assignment, we will consider how art can challenge traditional conceptions of belonging and identity
