CORE 002 SC - Cinema

This course offers an introduction to film analysis, starting with the birth of cinema and extending to more contemporary work. We will study films from across the globe—from the traditional “classical style” to the experimental and quirky. We will read film theory, practice using analytical terminology, and consider how cinema both resists and conforms to our attempts to theorize it. Films by directors such as Dziga Vertov, Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Maya Deren, Yasujiro Ozu, Agnès Varda,Jean-Luc Godard, Chantal Akerman, Andrei Tarkovsky, Wong Kar-Wai, and others will be covered.
