Overview of class

Docufiction blurs the line between fiction and non‐fiction filmmaking practices and artistry. In this class, students will be introduced to hybrid, genre‐defying films that question traditional definitions of documentary and fiction. Students will familiarize themselves with hybrid films, experimental forms, mockumentaries, documentary reenactments and dramatized "true stories." Classes will be composed of lectures, critical viewing, discussion of screenings and production workshops.
