Journey through the history of film from the 20th century to today, exploring how cinema developed as an art form, a technology, an industry, and a powerful force in visual culture. Discover how filmmakers create meaning through the moving image and how cinema has responded to social change, politics, new technologies, censorship, and changing modes of distribution. Through connections with photography, television, video, art, theatre, writing, and music, the course considers how film both reflects the world around us and shapes the audiences who experience it.
