Introduction to Critical Studies

LIT 130 CM-01: Introduction to Film

  • Instructor: Staff
    • Monday; 2:45-5:30 p.m.
    • Room 164, The Kravis Center
    • Introduction to Critical Studies

From its inception, cinema has often been conceptualized as having a “language” of its own. This course examines that metaphor from aesthetic, cultural, social, and historical perspectives. We will begin with a close analysis of a contemporary popular film, in an effort to “defamiliarize” typical conventions of cinematic expression, and then proceed through a study of multiple movements and genres in the history of film, from German Expressionism to the French New Wave, from Hollywood to documentary to avant-grade and independent filmmaking. Overall, the course is intended to provide students with a broad introduction to film analysis and to the field of Film Studies.
