A final course in the overview history of world cinema, building on the similarly structured courses History of World Cinema 1 and History of World Cinema 2. This lecture series provides an introduction to the history of world cinema from the turn of the 1950s and 1960s (roughly the emergence of the New Waves) through the early 1990s. Attention is given to the development of cinematic form as well as to the institutional, technological, political-social, and cultural conditions of film production, distribution, and consumption. Key figures are presented selectively through case studies, with the primary emphasis placed on broader historical contexts. Individual lectures focus primarily on American and European cinema, but selected national cinemas from other continents will also be covered.
After passing the course student will know the basic movements, directors and principle films of the world cinematography of the second half of the 20th century, including social and political background of the transformations in cinematography. He will be able to valorize the aesthetic starting points of these transformations in industrial context in this period (technological change-over, modification in strategy of distribution and propagation, etc.). Student could analyze film by its each aspect and compare it not just with production of director's cinematography, but also in spectrum of the art movements or trends. He could resume their specific style and narrative methods. he could profit of his knowledge by the writing the edifying work, the academic publication or the research work.
