COMM 224 - World Cinema and Global Culture A course on contemporary film since the 1960s in an international context. World cinema mediates the social, psychological, political and economic concerns of people experiencing the effects of colonialism, war and globalization. World cinema is also often defined in opposition to Hollywood cinema, in terms of three principal trends: art cinema, Third cinema, and a “new internationalism” (referring to transnational and diaspora themes in films, changing modes of film production, and digital convergence in technology). The course will examine each of these trends as it has evolved over time and also consider the effect of globalization on Hollywood. Readings will be diverse and include film history, interpretations of individual films, cultural theory, and some cultural policy analysis.
