| FLM&MDA (S26) | 110 FILM & MEDIA THEORY | BENAMOU, C. |
| This course offers a critical overview of key theoretical concepts and arguments that have informed film and television studies, with a focus on the study of sound and voice-over narration in documentary and fiction film. After a brief historical and technical introduction, we will consider the creative manipulation of sound elements across genres and in the work of influential filmmakers such as Francis Ford Coppola, Agnès Varda, Orson Welles, and Ousmane Sembène. How did documentary help to launch the use of voice-over? How have fictional genres featured voice-over as a core element of their narrative discourse? What role has voice-over played in the development of feminist cinema and films from the Global South? Segments of films from a wide range of cultural sources will be shown in class. Prerequisites are FMS 85A, FMS 85B, FMS 86, or FMS 87. |

| FLM&MDA (S26) | 130 LATINAS/OS IN MEDIA | BENAMOU, C. |
| This course will provide an historical overview of the complex relationship of Latinxs to U.S. audiovisual media from the early sound era in the 20th century to the present. Highlights include the sea change that took place during the “Good Neighbor policy,” the sitcom from “I Love Lucy” to “One Day at a Time,” the recent wave of Latinx podcasting, and the pivotal “Decade of the Hispanic” which saw the emergence of several new directors both independently and within the ambit of Hollywood. We will be looking into some of the causes of the persistent gaps and slippages in Latinx screen representation, as well as the initiatives of independent Latinx directors to redefine and reposition Latinx subjectivity on the screen. Students will have the opportunity to study theories of stereotyping, genres, and authorship, as well as engage with contemporary media in in-class presentations. Prerequisites are FMS 85A, FMS 85B, FMS 86, or FMS 87, or by permission of instructor. |

| African American History and Culture in Cinema explores the history of people of African descent in the United States from the colonial period through the present. It will explore the Black Freedom movement as continual from 1619 onward and move in generalities to describe historical moments. The curriculum will explore periods in general and zoom in on moments of particular inflection. The class is designed to take an intersectional approach to African American history exploring how race along with gender, class, and sexuality have informed experience. It uses films by African American authors to punctuate the historical arch. Moreover, it will explore those films to draw into relief the cultural currents they express to chronicle the development of African American culture. The course will cover the period of enslavement, Emancipation, the Jim Crow era, the Great Migration, the New Negro Renaissance, Civil Rights Movement, and the post-Civil Rights Era. The readings will be drawn from a cross-disciplinary selection of materials selected to support the lecture and nuance understanding of the films. The readings will be drawn from academic and literary texts. Ultimately, we will explore how African Americans have captured their history and revealed their culture through the medium of film. |
