The course is a continuation of DSFI1. The lecture series provides an introduction to the history of world cinema from the introduction of sound in the late 1920s and early 1930s to the late 1950s and early 1960s (the advent of the New Wave). Attention is given to the development of the film form as well as the institutional, technological, political, social and cultural conditions of film production, distribution and consumption. Key figures are presented rather selectively in the form of case studies, with the primary emphasis on the broader historical context. Individual lectures focus on the Hollywood industrial model as well as the situation in selected European and Asian national cinemas.
