FRN 412 : Cinema of the French-Speaking World

This course investigates key moments of the 20th and 21st centuries as they are visually and thematically represented in film. The aim of FRN 412 is to foster a greater appreciation for French and Francophone cinemas and a better understanding of the socio-intellectual context within which they developed. Though film analysis includes an examination of critical and theoretical approaches, prior film knowledge is not required. This is a course for students who are interested in the history and culture of the French-Speaking World, and furthering their study of the French language.
