Course Title: Intermediate Courses in History and Theory: 'Cinema and the City'

Start Date: 01/24/2022 End Date: 05/09/2022

Term: Spring Semester 2022

Description: This course offers an historical survey of film theory, from the work of its earliest authors and practitioners at the birth of the 20th century (who first struggled to define the medium), to those who are working still to elucidate the place of the cinema in relation to new media in its ever-evolving and ever more complex place in culture. As a way of focusing the discussion of the various theoretical positions, we will watch and discuss films that represent that most modern of phenomena--the city.
