Psychological thrillers are a subgenre of suspense\/thrillers that use plot twists and other narrative devices to expose and question the protagonist\u2019s grasp on reality. They often incorporate generic strategies from mystery, drama, and horror. Our broad objectives are 1. to understand the concept of genre along with its history in film studies, 2. to learn how to define and recognize a particular genre and subgenre, and 3. to analyze how individual films deal with genres by embracing their conventions and\/or contesting them. This course will be run as a seminar, meaning that it will be primarily discussion-based rather than lecture-based, and as such, it will have a synchronous live-stream meeting component during which time we will discuss the readings and films; have group presentations; watch full films; and even have small group activities.

It will examine the multiple ways in which the cinematic world is constructed and experienced as an art form and as a repository, a conveyor as well as a site of experimentation of social, cultural and political imaginaries. While looking at the ways in which the cinema creates meaning through its own language (mise en scene, cinematography, editing, sound, etc.) we will also investigate the numerous ways in which it has been transformed and dispersed in recent years since the advent of the digital (online platforms, VOD, interactivity, etc.), and how it has, in the process, contributed in its own unique way, to reshaping the world and our relationship to it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: Screening reports; discussion groups; midterm; final exam (tentative)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: TBA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-film-2001a-film-theory-and-analysis-i-fall-term\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    FILM 2001A Film Theory and Analysis I &#8211; Fall Term\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-film-2001a-film-theory-and-analysis-i-fall-term\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PROFESSOR: Marc Furstenau<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION: The objective of this course is to introduce students to the main theories and methods of analysis that have been developed for the study of film.

More than simply making apparent the &#8216;invisible,&#8217; however, the course will also investigate the backgrounds and contexts of film production in Canada from the silent era right up to the 21st century. We will identify and explore the evolution of two major streams of film practice in Canada: documentary and experimental. In addition, the course will examine the troubled, tentative evolution of feature fiction filmmaking in both English and French-speaking Canada. Our investigations will also explore various recurring themes in our national cinema: technology, alienation, marginality, identity, memory, ethnicity, history, and interiority.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: Mid-term test (20%); Essay (40%); Exam (40%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: TBA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-film-2401a-authorship-in-film-and-media-stanley-kubrick-fall-term\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    FILM 2401A Authorship in Film and Media: Stanley Kubrick &#8211; Fall Term\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-film-2401a-authorship-in-film-and-media-stanley-kubrick-fall-term\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PROFESSOR: Tom McSorley<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION: Following his entire career chronologically, we will investigate the principal thematic preoccupations, stylistic strategies, and broader cultural contexts of Kubrick\u2019s work, while examining the various conditions of production in which that work was made.

In response to this call, I asked myself how I would teach an \u2018anti-racism\u2019 course that took cinema and moving image art as its central focus and one that, at present, would be an elective rather than mandatory course? I decided to frame the course around writer and activist so mayer\u2019s concept of \u201crepresentational justice\u2019\u201d. What constitutes \u201crepresentational justice\u201d in a film, media and moving image art context? We will adopt a multi-pronged approach to our discussions and debates around this question. We will engage with aesthetic matters pertaining to style, modes of representation and methods of making while we simultaneously consider the broader political movements to which the works studied in the course refer and\/or with which they are engaged. These include Indigenous- led \u2018land back\u2019 and language movements, those pertaining to the abolition of prison and policing as well as anti-racism more broadly, to name a few. We will study the work of filmmakers and collectives, including (but not limited to) Garrett Bradley, Thirza Cuthand, Cauleen Smith, Sky Hopinka, Steve McQueen, Isuma Arts Collective, Elle-M\u00e1ij\u00e1 Apiniskim Tailfeathers, Brett Story and Kathleen Collins. I adopt a multi-disciplinary approach to the subject of representational justice and as such, there are no prerequisites for this course.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: TBA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: TBA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-film-2601a-film-genres-science-fiction-fall-term\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    FILM 2601A Film Genres: Science Fiction &#8211; Fall Term\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-film-2601a-film-genres-science-fiction-fall-term\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PROFESSOR: Gunnar Iversen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION: The course offers an introduction to science fiction cinema.

They often incorporate strategies from other genres that aim to help the popular imagination reflect upon what makes life valuable and meaningful. They may also carry political implications or simply try to entertain. In this course, we will consider a wide range of biopics from global film history to discover what conventions, narratives, iconographies, characters, settings and performances biopics may have in common. Our broad objectives are 1. to understand the concept of genre along with its history in film studies, 2. to learn how to define and recognize a particular genre or subgenre, and 3. to analyze how individual films deal with genres by embracing their conventions and\/or contesting them. This course will be run as a seminar, meaning that it will be primarily discussion-based rather than lecture-based.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: Forum discussion\/Perusall participation, a mid-length paper, a group-led discussion\/presentation, and a final paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: All course readings will be provided electronically at no cost to students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-film-2606a-history-of-world-cinema-i-fall-term\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    FILM 2606A History of World Cinema I &#8211; Fall Term\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-film-2606a-history-of-world-cinema-i-fall-term\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PROFESSOR: Charles O&#8217;Brien<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION: Offering a survey of the history of the cinema that begins in the late 19th century and continues until World War II, FILM 2606A covers major developments in the history of film from around the world.

As such, we will consider a number of the most influential film movements of the time period, including Italian neo-realism, the French New Wave, postcolonial cinema, and \u2018slow cinema\u2019, among others. We will also explore global accounts of popular usages of narration and style, such as \u2018network narratives\u2019 and \u2018intensified continuity\u2019 as well as some of the most significant technological innovations of the era, including the rise of lightweight film technology in the post-war period and the more recent dawn of digital cinema<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: Essays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: Kristin Thompson and David Bordwell:\u00a0<em>Film History \u2013 An Introduction<\/em>\u00a0(<em>Fifth Edition<\/em>).

Manifestos have been written by filmmakers, film scholars, film festival curators, archivists, and other members of film communities from all corners of the globe, therefore, they represent a wide range of perspectives and present many different kinds of problems and resolutions around documentary film practices. Each week we will confront a different documentary film paradigm, untangling the theoretical, ethical, technological, social, political, and economic issues at its centre to understand how problems of documentary practice have been conceived, critiqued, and resolved in different eras and social\/cultural environments. We will learn to analyze the manifestos as primary texts. We will also read secondary texts on issues raised in the manifestos or in the films paired with the manifesto.

As such, it deploys genre as a lens through which to explore different cultural and political experiences of Canada. In so doing, the course initiates students to works by filmmakers of different backgrounds who have either privileged genre filmmaking or challenged its paradigms. The course is divided into sections that successively examine genres emphasizing fear, discomfort and anxiety; pleasure, laughter, and entertainment; and geographical space and historical time. Considering both important historical developments and specific socio-political contexts, the course thus seeks, via dominant and marginalized perspectives, to reflect on a range of work that engages with and critiques existing models determined by both genre and nation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: TBA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: TBA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-film-3402b-film-music-winter-term\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    FILM 3402B Film Music &#8211; Winter Term\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-film-3402b-film-music-winter-term\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PROFESSOR: Golam Rabbani<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION: This course will explore the film music of the world while focusing on the issues of colonialism, decolonization, diversity, race, gender and sexuality, and nationalism.

Indeed, cinema and media practices across the continent have been experiencing a growth and expansion in recent years. African films are winning major awards at major film festivals. Nollywood is a ubiquitous presence around the world. Netflix is actively courting African filmmakers across the continent and across linguistic lines, creating its \u201cMade in Africa Collection\u201d with the tagline \u201cMade in Africa, Streaming to the World.\u201d The Criterion Collection has been releasing restored classics of African cinema through its partnership with Martin Scorsese\u2019s The Film Foundation and the African Film Heritage Project. There is something akin to renaissance in African cinema in the present moment. The project of this course is to seek to understand and explain these contemporary transformations by introducing students to African cinema through its history, some of its major and emerging filmmakers, film movements, films and institutions, its key debates and challenges as well as its potential futures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: In-class presentation, term paper, take home exam (Tentative)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: TBA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-film-3701a-topics-in-animation-video-and-experimental-film-fall-term\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    FILM 3701A Topics in Animation, Video, and Experimental Film &#8211; Fall Term\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-film-3701a-topics-in-animation-video-and-experimental-film-fall-term\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PROFESSOR:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-film-3800a-archival-and-curatorial-practice-film-programming-fall-term\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    FILM 3800A Archival and Curatorial Practice: Film Programming &#8211; Fall Term\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-film-3800a-archival-and-curatorial-practice-film-programming-fall-term\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PROFESSOR: Tom McSorley<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION: Film programming is everywhere. From the multiplex movie chains, to the ByTowne Cinema and Mayfair Theatre \u2018repertory\u2019 cinemas, to institutions like the Ottawa Film Society and the Canadian Film Institute, to hundreds of film festivals in Ottawa, across Canada and abroad, to online streaming platforms like Netflix, curatorial decisions are being made that will affect what is seen and, equally important, what is\u00a0<em>not<\/em>\u00a0seen. Just what is this cultural practice called film programming? What is its role in contemporary culture, and in what forms does it appear? Who decides what gets shown in the many public presentation contexts of cinematheques, galleries, museums, and film festivals? And, more immediate to the broad intentions of this course, how does it work? How does one actually apply one\u2019s knowledge of and passion for cinema in these various venues? These and many other questions will be discussed and analyzed in this course. While we will certainly incorporate theoretical discussions of taste and critical practice, this workshop-style online course is intended to give students practical experience in four specific areas of film programming: themed film series, retrospectives, national\/world cinema programming, and film festivals. Using the instructor\u2019s sample programming as a guide, you will develop a curatorial design for film programmes in each of the three areas (themed, retrospective, national\/world cinema); this will include film selection and preparation of program notes.\u00a0The final section of the course work will be your conceptualization, design, and proposed programming of a film festival, as well as proposed strategies for promotion and public outreach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: Weekly short writing assigments (30%); four film program proposals (70%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: TBA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-film-3808a-cinema-and-technology-fall-term\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    FILM 3808A Cinema and Technology &#8211; Fall Term\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-film-3808a-cinema-and-technology-fall-term\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PROFESSOR: Phillipe B\u00e9dard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION: This\u00a0course introduces various approaches to the study of the\u00a0techniques and technologies of cinema.\u00a0Topics will include digital cinema, virtual reality, motion capture, special effects, virtual production and more.

In this class, we will discuss questions about sound in film and television. What is sound and in what ways does it affect us? What is the relationship between sound and image in audiovisual media? How is sound used to tell stories in fiction films and drama series, and how is sound used to argue about the world in documentaries and factual television? How has technology shaped the representation of sound in film and television? In what ways do sound affect our experience of actual or fictional worlds, characters and narratives? In recent years, sound studies has emerged as a vital area of study and practice at the crossroads of the humanities and sciences, and some even talk about a \u201dsonic turn\u201d or a \u201dsonic boom\u201d. However, most studies of audiovisual media still put the emphasis on visual aspects, and only briefly discuss sound in itself, and the interplay between sound and image is not discussed to the extent it should.

How have trans people used audiovisual media to create new forms of community, identity, and desire? How have Black trans and Indigenous Two-Spirit people used film to expose and craft ways to collectively survive colonialism, racial capitalism, and the prison industrial complex? What challenges or paradoxes do audiovisual media pose to trans struggles for self-determination and liberation? How has \u201ctrans\u201d changed over time and in different places? What is trans cinema? This class will analyze a variety of trans-made feature films, shorts, television shows, YouTube videos, and web series that span modes and genres, including drama, sci-fi, comedy, documentary, experimental, and pornography. We will also compare trans-made media to mainstream representations of trans people. Students will have the opportunity to conduct close analyses of trans-made audiovisual media informed by the latest scholarship in the burgeoning field of Transgender Studies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: Writing assignments and an in-class presentation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: All readings are available online through Ares and Brightspace.

The course will also investigate theories of nationalism and \u2018national\u2019 cinema by way of exploring how national identities are imagined, constructed, and\/or challenged in Italian cinema.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: Film Analysis (20%); Seminar Presentation (10%); Essay (40%); Exam (30%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: TBA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-film-4401a-topics-in-film-authorship-action-cinema-auteurs-fall-term\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    FILM 4401A Topics in Film Authorship: Action Cinema Auteurs\u00a0&#8211; Fall Term\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-film-4401a-topics-in-film-authorship-action-cinema-auteurs-fall-term\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PROFESSOR: Christopher Rohde<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION: This course will examine how signs of authorship can be read across the body of work of a group of notable action cinema directors; how authorial interests, directorial trademarks and cinematic style are transmuted by changes in the cultural and sociopolitical landscape over time; how authorship mutates and adapts across national cinema contexts; and tensions between auteurism and the constraints of genre and studio filmmaking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: 35% oral presentation, 35% essay, 30% final exam<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: Collection of online readings (book chapters by various authors)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-film-4901b-special-topic-contemporary-quebec-cinema-winter-term\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    FILM 4901B Special Topic: Contemporary Qu\u00e9bec Cinema &#8211; Winter Term\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-film-4901b-special-topic-contemporary-quebec-cinema-winter-term\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PROFESSOR: Kester Dyer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION:\u00a0This course centers on the phenomenon known as\u00a0<em>Le renouveau du cinema qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois<\/em>, or the Qu\u00e9bec New Wave.

Psychological thrillers are a subgenre of thrillers that use plot twists and other narrative devices to expose and question the protagonist\u2019s grasp on reality.

This course will be run as a seminar, meaning that it will be primarily discussion-based rather than lecture-based, and as such, it will have a synchronous live-stream meeting component during which time we will discuss the readings and films; have group presentations; watch full films; and even have small group activities.
