The module investigates various film movements across the world outside of Hollywood and mainstream cinema. The course prioritises global cinema over mainstream film and, hence, art over
business and creativity over celebrity.
The module could explore specific areas of study, for example: Weimar cinema; French cinema’s golden age; Italian Neorealism and Italian cinema’s rejection of the traditional dramatic and cinematic conventions of Hollywood; Iranian New Wave since the 1960s; French New Wave/Nouvelle Vague and New German Cinema from the 1970s; to name a few.
