ENGFLM 1481 - TEEN FILM

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Long Description This course will look at a type of film that has been prominent in Hollywood and international cinema since 1955: the youth film or teen film or teenpic. The teenpic has been variously defined as films targeted at a teenage market and as films about teenagers (and sometimes both). In considering the teenpic as a genre, we will attempt to break it down into subgenres such as the juvenile delinquent film, the teen musical, the teen horror film, nostalgic teen films, postmodern youth cult films, African American teen films, "girl" teenpics, and LGBTQIA+ teenpics. This is a Critical Studies course and counts for Category II towards the Film and Media Studies major and minor.
