DRAMA 617S — Film History and Grammar: A Global Perspective2 credits
Fall
Tarek Bouraque
Through a study of significant films from around the world, this course covers the essential principles of film grammar and the vocabulary used to make meaning in narrative cinema. Following a historical journey from the foundation of cinema with the Lumière Brothers to the adaptation of this form in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America, the films studied will represent each decade since the birth of cinema. Students will reflect on the political and artistic movements that informed each film’s style and message and examine the legacy of the work today.
