FMST 020. Critical Theories of Film and Media
Film critic André Bazin’s famous question, “What is cinema?,” has gained new relevance since the advent of digital media. This course introduces classical film theory (realism, montage, theories of modernity and perception), contemporary film theory (theories of film language, the cinematic apparatus, and spectatorship), and approaches that cut across media (authorship, genre, stardom, semiotics, narratology, feminism, production and reception studies, cognitivism). Through readings and weekly screenings, we explore the significance of film and other media in shaping our identity and cultural experience. Required weekly evening screenings.
