All students are expected to attend and participate in person at the assigned day/time. (F2F) Prerequisite or Corequisite: FST 205 Cross-listed w/ FST 589-001. Right now, France has the most diverse and dynamic film production complex in the world, a veritable ecosystem of cinema. To explore why, this class will investigate case studies of French cinema in its many forms. These include: examples of 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. A particular emphasis in the class is on women filmmakers and non-traditional content.
