Experimental Film and Video

Undergraduate

This course examines experimental processes in film, video and sound and provides a technical and critical foundation in each medium. Focus will be given to the basic events and artists central to the historical development of this genre as well as its contemporary practitioners. Based on screenings and various exercises, students will craft projects that explore the potential of these artistic forms in challenging the norms and conventions of mainstream cultural production. (Prerequisite: FILM-3100) (2 lecture hours and 1 laboratory hour per week). (Credit cannot be obtained for both FILM-4050 and CMAF- 2150.)
