Through a series of screenings, we will analyze the narrative structure and grammar of films’ visuals to spur on an in-depth understanding of story, character, style and theme. The study of the language of cinema will be contextualized in the work of seven visionary storytellers: Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick, Jane Campion, Ana Lily Amirpour, Satyajit Ray, Andrei Tarkovsky and Krzysztof Kielslowski.
This class is open enrollment; no application required.
Note: the Monday film screening from 1:30-3:50 p.m. is a mandatory class for the lecture on Tuesdays.
