CIN 251D - Film History

3 credit(s) High Impact Practice: Diversity
This course provides an introduction to the history of cinema, from the earliest days of motion pictures to the present. Students will learn about the technological and artistic developments that have shaped film as an art form and a medium of communication. We will examine the major movements, genres, and innovations that have shaped cinema as an art form and as a cultural force, while also considering the social, political, and economic contexts that have influenced film production and reception. Special consideration will be given to voices that have historically been left out of film history, and through a diverse combination of lectures, screenings, readings, and discussions, students will develop a critical understanding of film as a medium of expression and representation. Weekly Screenings.
Prerequisite(s): CIN 150 or CMM 150.
