FMST 1360 - SPIKE LEE

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Spike Lee's films, videos, and TV work have been both provocative and groundbreaking, challenging the structures of American filmmaking at the level of production, reception, and film style. Including feature films, documentaries, music videos, and mini-series, his work has a diversity that discourages the restrictive labels of African-American director or independent director. This course will cover most of this body of work in terms of Lee's cinematic style and cultural concerns, and also in terms of the cultural debates his work has triggered or participated in. By the very nature of these films, a Spike Lee course has to engage with much more than directorial style and vision alone, and will thus also be an opportunity to consider various approaches to the study of film. This is a Critical Studies course and counts for Category I towards the Film and Media Studies major and minor.
