Cinema: History & Analysis

Course Description:
This module explores the long history of cinema, and furnishes students with tools for the analysis of any film, past or present. While it engages specifically with questions of creativity and production, this module places these concerns within a wider consideration of cinema's development and dissemination, and introduces a range of analytical approaches for making sense of cinema. To examine the history of the cinema is to encounter one of the most remarkable cultural changes of the period between the late nineteenth century and the early twenty-first century: the emergence and growth of a radically new form of mass communication, entertainment and art, which was to have far-reaching consequences for social and cultural life throughout the century. The module will attend to cinema as a medium in itself, some of the wider social and cultural concerns, and the range of approaches that historians and film analysts have used to explain
