Course description

This course explores recent approaches to the study of film and television as art forms. The course is designed to draw upon and build upon the gateway and cornerstone courses of the Film and Television Major and the Art History Major. We will practice and evolve our evaluative and critical responses to a number of films and at least one television show. The first half of the course examines concepts of judgement, evaluation, `badness¿, context, and politics as they relate to film. The second half focuses on the achievement of several directors in relation to written criticism about them, as well as looking at television¿s capacity to create art.
