SCRN 123 - Factual Film and Television


An overview of film and television genres associated with factual and documentary filmmaking. A wide array of documentaries are used to examine sociocultural topics, such as art, gender, modernity and race. Focuses particularly on how certain stylistic means of filmmaking shape our understanding of subject matter and themes. Recent experiments with cinema, such as performativity, surrealism and reenactment — that blur the line between fiction and fact — will also be addressed.
