Topics could include cinema in relation to relevant distinctive national and cultural histories, local audiences and production circumstances, and the challenges of international distribution in light of Hollywood's global dominance.

You may be surprised at how many well-known directors and actors are Canadian. Canadian directors whom we will meet include David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan, John Maddin, and Patricia Rozema. Canada, like every other country, uses its national cinema as an expression of, exploration of, and advertisement for its national identity. We will look at Canadian films with the aim of discovering what issues Canadians see as central, as worthy of display, and as problematic. We will look at the relationship between these film representations and actual social and political ideas and practices. We will also see how Canada negotiates its economic and industrial relationship to the 800-pound gorilla of the film world: Hollywood. Evaluated work will include short response papers, two or three medium-length papers, and a research paper of a reasonable length. While previous experience in film studies is a plus, it is not required for enrollment in this course. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Sophomore, Junior, or Senior class standing.
