This course introduces students to major films and film movements from the origins of cinema in 1890s to the present. We will focus on the impact of technological and social changes on cinema, while placing such film-specific events as the invention of cinema, the coming of sound, or the use of color, in broader historical and cultural contexts. We will consider how major film movements have in turn influenced other national or international cinemas around the world, including mainstream Hollywood cinema.
