CINE 358 - Cinema and Humanism


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 4 hours
Attribute: 4HU, WR
This course traces the “humanist” impulse in cinema history and theory. Filmmakers will include Griffith, Capra, Renoir, Ozu, Kiarostami, Altman, and Wes Anderson, and genres like science fiction, the “social problem” film, noir, and cinema verite. What is a humanist cinema? How does it evolve over time? Why does the term fall into disrepute, and what might it mean to think about it in the age of YouTube? Can we envision a new humanist cinema?
