CIN-4605: Global Cinema

Provides a window into diverse and emergent forms of storytelling from around the world with a distinct focus on films made by filmmakers from Africa, Latin America and Asia. A mix of shorts, documentary and narrative features, the course examines the distinctive aesthetics, cultural contexts and authorship in recently released films in the film festival circuit. Recognizing films as cultural artifacts and filmmaking as practice, students develop their abilities to distinguish between watching a film, reading a film and understanding it from multiple perspectives given time, place, power dynamics and more. As they interrogate their own reactions, they surface preconceptions about other-ness, self-identities and their call out some of their own blinders. They develop their abilities to get outside themselves to recognize alternative points of view. Students read film theory, watch and analyze films weekly, and undertake a final project.
