Course description

MSTU3150 is a course that explores recent approaches to the study of motion pictures as art. The course is designed to draw upon and build upon the gateway and cornerstone courses, as well as complement the capstone course, of the Film and Television major. We will explore the particular, formal qualities of motion pictures as well as the meanings and values of particular movements and works in conjunction with some recent publications from a broadly aesthetic perspective. The central aim of the course is to develop your capacity to make judgements about the films or television shows you watch; judgement, as we will discover, is central to the act of critical writing about them.
