Course Catalog Description
This course will focus on the development of film art, technology, and industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Class Description
This course is an introduction to the early history of world cinema (from its nineteenth-century prehistory to the sound cinema of the 1930s) and to the interpretive skills necessary for close analysis of film. Topics considered will include the rise of early film, the gradual development of cinematic narrative, the development of national cinematic styles in the 1920s, the transition to sound, and the conflicting political filmmaking of the 1930s leading up to the second World War.
