Course Description
This course aims to expand students’ knowledge and to develop
their critical thinking skills in film. Genres, styles and periods in
the film history will be covered to introduce the development of

discussed in relation to the extracts screened. Each weekly session
therefore is packed with clips from selected European, American
and Asian cinemas to provide students a broad understanding of
film and its wider cultural context, as well as an enhanced
appreciation of film in general.
There will be DVD screenings throughout the course, and excerpts
