ENGL 560 - Film Studies

Credit Hours: 3

This film course will expose students to films from a variety of nations and filmmakers that represent the chief cinematic movements of the twentieth century (Weimar Expressionism, French New Wave, American Noir, etc.), and it will instruct students in the terminology and techniques of filmmaking. The students will, by studying the relationship between the tools of filmmaking and the finished products, learn to “read” films as metaphors of reality.
