Cinema studies provides the longest and most thorough discourse on moving image culture, and therefore this course introduces methodology and theory beneficial to students working on topics in television, video art, advertising, and digital media-making, and more. The aim of this class is to introduce and train students in research methods and approaches in moving image studies, and discuss how the long tradition of cinematic scholarly discourse can impact research in other areas of media and various periods of technological emergence. Each class session includes a screening (usually about 90 min) of a film appropriate to the following week's reading. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
