CM 358 World Cinema


(3 Credits)
This course provides an introduction to the versatility of world cinema. Film remains the richest medium around the world, as each culture and each country develops for itself a unique mode of expression in cinema. Several directors have brought to film an ingenuity that is distinctly cinematic and on par with the greatest achievements of other art forms. Even in the wake of the worst effects of globalization and the dominance of Hollywood form, its industry, its marketing, and its financial power, cinema around the world claims the distinction of new heights of brilliance, vast depths of its talents, and a historic as well as cultural character that is unlike any other form.
