MCM 1201L - Cinema-Mobility-Travel |
What is it about the journey and mobility that is so appealing to filmmakers and the film industry? Is the concurrent rise of mass tourism and cinema accidental? If the moving image is the quintessential modern aesthetic experience, can mobility be considered the modern social imperative? What systems or linkages allow images, films and people to travel between social, cultural, and economic contexts? Drawing from a wide range of film theorists as well as a diverse set of films, including travelogues, ethnographies, avant-garde pieces, Hollywood spectaculars, and the work of indigenous filmmakers, this course explores the links between physical movement and the virtual mobility provided by the image. Enrollment limited to 50. Prerequisite: one of the following: MCM 0100, MCM 0150, MCM 0230, MCM 0240, MCM 0250, MCM 0260, MCM 1110.
