The scholarly analysis of film as a medium (of creative expression, commercial practice, mass entertainment, political intervention—and more) engages broadly with two distinct sorts of questions: (1) what textual core/boundary constitutes the object of film analysis and (2) what set of interpretive activities make up the subjective dimensions of this field? This course aims to introduce you to different ways of interpreting films, by engaging with key theoretical texts and exercises in practical analyses of a broad range of cinematic texts from around the globe.
