“Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes.”
Robert Altman
About this course...
This course takes two years to fully examine the 4 coursework aspects of Film Studies. You will study films chronologically through famous film movements, while also watching their contemporary counterpart. Films will come from a wide space of time and geographical location. Students will also participate in creating their own films both individually and collaboratively.
Textual analysis: an independent detailed study of film sequences including research of relevant context and their influence.
Comparative Study: an independent film essay of two films from different continents or time periods (20 years or more) comparing and contrasting film movements, genres or theories including relevant context and their influence.
Film Portfolio: an independent and collaborative experimental range of exploration in three chosen film roles, including one complete three minute film.
Collaborative Project: a collaborative film exploration through one chosen film role working with a team to complete a seven minute film.
