Overview of class

This course introduces students to the study of cinema with an emphasis on the various "literatures" it engages, including fiction, criticism, and theory across media. It has two primary objectives: 1) to acquaint students with vocabularies and frameworks of analysis required to study cinema in terms specific to that medium; and 2) to familiarize students with a broad range of texts crucial to the study of cinema, enabling them to render persuasive interpretations. Techniques of close analysis will be the paramount skills developed in the course, hopefully leading to deeper appreciation of film and its literatures.
