(syllabus)
The course addresses film narrative and stylistic forms, from classic Hollywood to contemporary cinema. Through the analysis of specific sequences and films, the course addresses classic cinema from the 1930s, the melodramatic style from the 1950s, film modernity (in particular Italian art film from the 1960s), postmodern cinema, postclassic films, mind-game films, and "global films". The last part of the course is dedicated to complex and vast narratives, especially television series. The film analysis will be conducted through various methods and approaches. Among them: structuralism and semiotics, formal analysis and style, psychoanalysis, feminist film theory. Cultural studies and approaches will be considered in order to address modernity, postmodernism, and contemporary mediascapes. The final syllabus and program will be published at the beginning of the course.
