Overview of class

This course explores how the issues of gender are integral to understand and analyze film form or moving images. The course takes an intersectional approach and considers gender as a concept that intersects with the issues of race, class, sexuality, and nationality and interrogates how these issues shape the film form and how they are presented and negotiated in films produced in different parts of the world. Students will engage with different cultural contexts in which film and gender operate and thus will be able to also do cross-cultural film analysis and comparison of the issues of gender. Students will use interdisciplinary and transnational film theory and will utilize these theoretical frameworks to conduct in-depth analysis of films.
