US 259 Japanese Cinema and Anime

(4 credits)
This course seeks to provide a board introduction to Japanese Cinema Studies, examining the social and historical context of various film movements throughout Japan’s unique century plus history of work within the film medium. This course will approach the history of Modern Japan from a film historic perspective, examining the greater societal context that allowed film movements such as ‘Daikaiju’ (giant monster), Anime, satirical ‘splatter films’, and politically motivated softcore pornography to thrive in the Japanese market.
