The chosen movements can be prominent or lesser known, well established or just emerging.
Gather enough information about each film movement so that you can identify the cultural contexts that gave rise to, or influenced, their movement, as well as important names, film titles, images, methods and filmmaking techniques related to each movement. Pairs should also provide an explicit justification for their choice of each film movement.
Present to the class your findings using a google slideshow including movie clips (short) so we understand the movement, its cultural context, important names, film titles, and techniques of the movement.
