COMM 357 Contemporary World Cinema

The objective of this course is to explore the nature of feature film production in various nations of the world and how film production in other countries relates to the American film industries.  Emphasis will be placed on “art film” production rather than the more familiar Hollywood product as this genre is often the source of experimental films and new directors that set the pace for mainstream movies. The course is designed to incorporate films being shown at film festivals and other New York venues. Course fee determined by ticket prices. Additional lab fee applies.
