Credit: 3 hours.

Course systematically addresses cinema movements and films of different periods, genres, themes and styles produced in one or two Anglophone countries other than the U.S. (e.g., Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and regions with Anglophone film movements or strands like South Asia and the Caribbean). 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. Meets for 110 minutes twice a week, with some class time devoted to film screenings (not always on same day) and some longer feature films scheduled in required out-of-class screenings announced well in advance.

May be repeated to a maximum of 6 credit hours in separate terms if topics vary.

Canada, like every other country except the United States, 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.
