FILM 331 Approaches to Film Studies |
3 Credits |
In 1896, when Auguste and Louis Lumiere held the
first public screening of film in Paris, most people
imagined that the new invention would be directed
towards scientific research rather than the
establishment of an entertainment industry. As a
viable commercial product cinema soon became a
contender for the status of the new century's first
original art form. This course will introduce the art,
aesthetics and politics of film. It will focus on the
particular social and historical context of movies.
The course will cover major breakthroughs and
significant genres in cinema, as well as different
topics, such as style and meaning, elements of film
narrative, techniques of film production. The scope
will be international and topics will be organized
along a historical trajectory.

FILM 432 Vision, Representation and Cinema |
3 Credits |
Cinema is the art of the 20th century. Though its birth goes
all the way back to the 19th century it is, in this long
century that cinema has been the medium of high and low
art, the medium of propaganda and popular culture. The show
and entertainment business of the last century and the
consumer culture came out has both contributed to and
benefited from the cinema. On the other hand, cinema
has transformed the visual culture dramatically as a
matter of visuality. It is after the introduction of the
movies of the 1920s that human understanding of
visuality has taken a radical shift as a consequence of
cinema's relation to various aspects, such as psychoanalysis
In this regard cinema might be taken as the basic art of the
past century with none of the realms of art and social life
being ignorant to it. The course will expose the students
to the reality both produced and transformed in cinema. Each
week a certain field, such as history, politics,
psychoanalysis, gender, marginality, will be selected and
accordingly films will be analysed to find out how the
reality of that specific area is represented.
On the background the students will discuss
and analyse the basic concerns and concepts of modernity.
The course, in this context, will conjointly survey the
history, problematics and arts of the past century as
well as the adventure of cinema as a technique and art.

FILM 435 Documentary: Context and Practice-I |
3 Credits |
Since the mid-1800s, people have used still images
(photography) and since 1890s, moving images and later
sound (film) to represent reality as they perceive it and/or
as they choose to represent it. The history of non-fiction
film or documentary cinema, is a series of experimentations
in the representation of reality. Since the beginning, with
these experimentations, debates about ethical, aesthetic,
political issues in representation have been unfolding.
This course will offer a critical look at the historical
development of non-fiction film forms and modes.
We will cover documentary theories and criticism, and
related issues including ethics and problematics of
representation. Students will work on a series of short
video exercises and write a series of short responses to the
films and the readings. At the end of the semester, students
are expected to submit a term paper and a proposal for a
project to be implemented next semester.

This course is a continuation of VA 435, where
we have looked at the historical
development of non-fiction film forms and
modes, major theories, and related issues including
ethics and problematics of representation. This
semester our focus will again be two-fold.
Through recent documentaries, we will be
looking at the current issues and debates
in the world of non-fiction filmmaking, as well
as practical challenges faced by filmmakers.
Throughout the semester, various filmmakers
will be invited to present and discuss their
work. On the practice side, each student will
have an opportunity to experiment
with representation of reality by making a short
non-fiction film and presenting it
at various stages in a workshop format.

FILM 452 Psychoanalysis and Film |
3 Credits |
It is often observed that the institutions of psychoanalysis
and cinema are roughly the same age. This course
investigates the ways in which film theory and criticism
have been influenced by psychoanalysis and explores
the ways in which psychoanalytic theories have informed
cinema, either through film form or through plotting and
characterization. The course will provide a working
understanding of fundamental psychoanalytic concepts
and will offer exercise in psychoanalytical film analysis.
Each lecture will begin by the screening of a film, proceed
by discussing a psychoanalytic concept and conclude by a
focus on the intersection points of the readings and the
films. By the end of the course, the students will be able
to develop their own ideas about film in relation to these
theories and apply them to further examples.
