German Cinema

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

Level V course. The course will take a look at the German cinematic tradition focusing on three areas: films of the 1920's and 1930's, post-war films as reflections on the state of Germany, and films that deal with the relationship between Germany and the United States (or the dominance of Hollywood in film-making.) Parallel with the exploration of films, we will develop an appropriate level of understanding of film history, film theory, and various approaches to interpreting film.
