Introduction to Film Study - 20505 - FST 200 - 001
Designed to prepare students to major in Film Studies, this course teaches
students how to analyze the aesthetics of cinema. We will study cinema’s stylistic
properties, including mise-en-scène, cinematography, editing, and sound. Students
will then learn how sounds and moving images work together to structure a film or
render a narrative. Along the way, students will develop technical knowledge and
writing and analytical skills applicable to film study. The films we will study
represent diverse styles, periods, genres, national cinemas, and production modes
in order to give students an understanding of the wide range of cinema’s aesthetic
possibilities.

History of Avant-Garde Film - 24918 - FST 372 - 01
This class will introduce students to the rich historical legacy of experimental
filmmaking. Since the birth of the moving image, independent artists have

philosophical reflection. Over the course of the semester we will consider individual
filmmakers, including Stan Brakhage, Harry Smith, Carolee Schneemann, and
Peter Kubelka, as well as a range of formal and conceptual tendencies, such as
surrealism, psychedelia, found footage, and video art. This class will also offer

their original format, as they were intended to be seen, in 16 mm film projection.

American Cinema Since 1961 - 20699 - FST 377 - 001
This course introduces students to the history and aesthetics of American cinema
since the end of the Hollywood studio system. We will conduct an “historical
poetics” of American cinema, as we seek to understand the historical conditions
that enabled American films to assume their aesthetic design at the time they
were made. We will consider the major topics discussed by historians of the
period, including the break-up of the motion picture studios, demographic
changes, the film ratings system, the “blockbuster syndrome,” the “event film,”
indie filmmaking, home video, globalization, and other stuff like that. Throughout,
we will study American movies as movies—as experiences for spectators—and we
will never stray far from our central question and the only question about the
cinema that I care much about: What is it about the movies people enjoy that
makes people enjoy them?

From kinetoscopes to golden-era movie palaces to on-demand digital viewing, the
experience of watching films has varied dramatically over time. This course will
examine those changes in film exhibition: Where, why, and how have people come
together to show and watch movies? What approaches do film historians take
when studying exhibition, and how might those approaches be critiqued? During
discussion sessions, students will be presented with a variety of primary sources –
from pressbooks to legal transcripts to box office receipts – that they will use to
engage in hands-on archival and audience research into local and national case
studies.

FST 398 - 003
The film essay exists at the intersection of various cinematic and literary
traditions, merging documentary and experimental traditions with literary forms
and genres such as the diary, essay, epistolary, memoir, and poem. In this course,
we will examine the literary roots of the essay film alongside representative
contemporary film essays. In the spirit of the essay's literal definition, 'to attempt'
or 'to try,' this class will be a literary and cinematic experiment in inquiry, as we
search for meaningful intersections between the word, the image, soundscape, and
the author/filmmaker.

Senior Seminar in Film Study: New Approaches to Film Aesthetics - 20812
- FST 496 - 001
What makes a movie interesting, pleasurable, engaging, emotionally affecting,
thought-provoking, or beautiful? How does a film’s artistic design affect our
cinematic experience? Film researchers working in aesthetics seek to answer these
questions, and many recent scholars have extended the investigation in excitingnew directions. Their work illuminates not just aesthetic experience but also
related issues of ideology, philosophy, psychology, and national identity, as well as
film history, film technology, and the film industry. This course showcases
innovative recent approaches to film aesthetics, illustrating the potential of this
work to illuminate key aspects of the cinema. We will study a range of scholars
(from film studies, psychology, and philosophy) working in film aesthetics today
and watch movies from a variety of countries and periods. Wherever we are in the
course, we will not be far from our central question and the only question about
the cinema that I think much about: What is it about the movies people enjoy that
makes people enjoy them?

In this course, we will study the history of ethnographic cinema, grappling with
issues—aesthetic, theoretical, and political—related to cross-cultural
representation. How does ethnographic filmmaking differ from other kinds of non-
fiction film practice? What is the relationship between film and anthropology?
Students will examine the context in which ethnographic films emerged, key films
that helped define the genre, their various formal strategies, as well as the
historical, social and political contexts in which such strategies have been used andhotly debated. We will also explore indigenous media production in Australia and
Latin America as well the emerging genre of sensory ethnography.

Senior Seminar in Film Studies: Film Comedy - 20709 - FST 496 - 004
Why do comedy films make us laugh? To what degree is humor subjective, and to
what degree is it science? Are its mechanisms culturally specific or universal? And
are there inherent differences between film comedy and other comedic media
forms, such as televised stand-up or viral videos? Drawing upon the work of
scholars from Aristotle to Sigmund Freud to Henri Bergson, this capstone course
will analyze comedy films from diverse styles, periods, and national cinemas. From
slapstick to satire, and from gross-out to cringe comedy, why should we take
humor seriously?
