First-Year Film Seminar

2 credits in half term; first year students only; Does not count toward concentration.

The goal of this course is to help students understand the ways in which cinema functions as a form for artistic expression. the course will examine cinematically specific structures (time and space manipulation, montage, etc..) as well as examine film's relationship to other artistic enterprises such as theatre, litersture, painting, etc. Although based on this premise, topics will rotate.
