---|
All students are expected to attend and participate in person at the assigned day/time. (F2F) Prerequisite FST 205 All students are expected to attend and participate in person at the assigned day/time. (F2F) Right now, France has the most diverse and dynamic production complex in the world, a true media ecosystem. To explore why, this class will encounter case studies of French cinema in its many modern forms. These include: different genres (horror, comedy, digital spectaculars); the work of emerging and cutting edge auteurs; and France’s continuum of filmmaking (shorts, features, animation, art versus popular cinema, pop-art hybridity, Franco-Hollywood dialogues, etc.). To analyze our texts we will pursue salient critical approaches, analyzing: national identities on-screen, the industrial contexts that nurture France’s modes of production; contemporary authorship in film, concepts of film style, the impact of new technologies, cinema and social activism, feminine cinema, film culture and reception, and the French industry’s relationship with global audiences. The class will particularly emphasize the work of women and non-traditional filmmakers.
