Film Studies: American Cinema

2,250.00

The course introduces participants to some of the major historical periods of American cinema, quintessential American genres (the western, film noir and horror), and modes of production that include the rich documentary traditions and landmarks in experimental, non-narrative, avant-garde cinemas. It examines various aspects of ‘classical’ Hollywood cinema and the Hollywood studio system (1920s-1960s) which laid the foundation for the global dominance of this film industry. It also explores the break-up of the motion picture studios, demographic changes, the film ratings system, the “blockbuster syndrome,” the “event film,” independent filmmaking, growth of home video, and market globalization during the 1970s New Wave and over subsequent eras. Over five days, this course, which is a selective overview, contextualizes seminal films (Citizen Kane, The Searchers, The Exorcist, Bowling for Columbine et. al.) and situates major filmmakers (Orson Welles, John Ford, John Cassavetes, Robert Altman and others) in their socio-political, economic and cultural milieus.
