FILM 42.02 New Waves

In the 1950s and 1960s, the French New Wave changed the course of film history. French new wave directors were mostly film critics who became filmmakers. Their films merged documentary and fiction, mixed film genres, and reveled in a profound knowledge of the history of the medium. A quintessential youth movement, the FNW inspired new waves in Hong Kong, Iran, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and the US, among other countries. We will alternate screenings, readings, and discussions of new wave films from these different countries.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
