Learning outcomes
|
This course builds on the DSF1U course. The lecture series provides an introduction to the history of world cinema from the introduction of sound at the turn of the 1920s and 1930s to the turn of the 1950s and 1960s (the emergence of the New Waves). Attention is given to the development of the film form as well as to the institutional, technological, political-social, and cultural conditions of film production, distribution, and consumption. Key figures are presented selectively in the form of case studies, with the primary emphasis placed on the broader historical context. Individual lectures focus on the Hollywood industrial model as well as on the situation in selected European and Asian national cinematographies.
