Section Title: From Hollywood to Bollywood Section Info: From Hollywood to Bollywood Description: ‘From Hollywood to Bollywood’ is an introduction to cinema in a global and cross-cultural context. With globalization, national cinemas – with fixed boundaries and markers in the past – have been re-defined, opening up to sights, sounds, techniques, and capital from all over the world. How have cinematic traditions fared in their interaction with the global flow of capital? Using comparative methodology, this course will engage with the content and context of a film every week. Films will be chosen from diverse sources, with Hollywood and Bollywood as the primary points of reference. Open to all majors, this course satisfies Gen-Ed requirements in the Literature and Arts category.
