FREN 320 - French Cinema: from the National to the Global


Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course

This historical survey will expose students to the directors, movements, and periods that have represented French filmmaking since its beginning (i.e. Lumiere, Melies, Surrealism, 1930s Poetic Realism, Occupation, New Wave, contemporary film). A study of the history of industrialization, cultural policy, and state regulation will also help show the conceptualization of French cinema as a ‘national cinema,’ despite its international artistic heritage and audiences, and as a particular kind of interface representing Frenchness within and beyond France.

Consent of the Instructor Required: Yes
Prerequisites & Notes: No prerequisites, but CINE 110 or another course in French is strongly recommended.
