Abstract

This course introduces the student to contemporary film genres, both in fiction and non-fiction modes of film making. The emphasis is on searching for meaning in screen texts through formalist, and genre analyses, making sense of how a filmmaker can use stylistic and narrative elements to signify and express meaning on the screen. Additionally, the students will critically examine how these films are produced within the political economy context, i.e. how can we read film as a reflection of, a commentary on, and a dialogue with the world we live in.
