Question 1

What will I learn in Film As Literature - Option #3?

Accepted Answer

'The Kids Are Alright': Coming of Age in Modern Cinema. Students study film both as an art form and as a form of communication. They are taught how to 'read' a film, just as students who study literature are taught to 'see' how different literary forms and conventions are used by writers to achieve specific effects. This year-long course will examine international, contemporary, narrative films (from the year 2000 to present day), from across the globe, all of which center on young people engaging in both culturally specific and universal rites of passage. Many films will be subtitled, will screen in their original languages, and feature young protagonists in conflict with their environments as they attempt to define their emerging sense of self. Topics explored will include race and class, religion and ritual, sexuality and gender, the generation gap within families, ageism and stereotyping, rebellion and revolt, sex and romantic love, and the influence of the natural world on characters' psyches and selves. While character and narrative are the primary points of inquiry, the course will introduce students to film aesthetics through the analysis of film form and style and will provide students with a fluency in and understanding of film's unique language. Along with whole-class screenings, students will engage in close readings of films, and are expected to both present to the class their insights and observations in informal class discussions and more structured presentations involving film clips and connections-making across other artistic disciplines. A formal written-critique process will anchor the academic portion of the class, as all students will take notes and write film commentaries in their journals each week.
