CONTEMPORARY WORLD CINEMA

Course Description

This course offers a partial survey of key developments in cinema culture over the past ten years. Rather than attempting to examine world cinema in its entirety, the focus will be limited to their production in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The films under consideration might be regarded as outstanding or ground-breaking examples of film art, but they can also be understood as products of specific cultures. The films are therefore being studied in their cultural and historical contexts. Although this course progresses on a largely country-by-country basis, it also emphasises the globalised nature of contemporary cinema and the transnational arrangements that underpin many films produced around the world.
