Course Description:
This course introduces principles of practical film criticism, film aesthetic, and film theory through weekly film screenings and post-screening discussions. Students workshop those principles in the latter half of the semester by undertaking the critical task of selecting films for a Film Festival. The primary goal of the course is to position students for effective and robust dialogue about film. The requirements for this 0.5 credit course are mandatory weekly film screenings, engaged participation in post-film discussions, written responses, and full participation during the intensive and time-critical festival selection screening process. |
