As an introduction to the study of film, this course is designed to expand the appreciation and perception of cinematic works as expressive and influential works of art. It introduces the students to the techniques of film analysis and criticism, and it explores various aspects of cinema studies, examining films as individual creations as well as manifestations of genres, national traditions, and stylistic movements. The course addresses the technological and economic development of cinema, and the structural and ideological attributes of fiction, documentary, animated, and experimental films, investigates particular modes of reception, and examines various theories of visual representation and the treatment in film of race, class, gender, national identity, and marginalization.
