FILM 535 Documentary: Context and Practice I |
3 Credits |
Since the mid-1800s, people have used still images
(photography) and since 1890s, moving images and later
sound (film) to represent reality as they perceive it and/or
as they choose to represent it. The history of non-fiction
film or documentary cinema, is a series of experimentations
in the representation of reality. Since the beginning, with
these experimentations, debates about ethical, aesthetic,
political issues in representation have been unfolding.
This course will offer a critical look at the historical
development of non-fiction film forms and modes.
We will cover documentary theories and criticism, and
related issues including ethics and problematics of
representation. Students will work on a series of short
video exercises and write a series of short responses to the
films and the readings. At the end of the semester, students
are expected to submit a term paper and a proposal for a
project to be implemented next semester.

3 Credits |
This course is a continuation of FILM 535, where we
have looked at the historical development of
non-fiction film forms and modes, major theories,
and related issues including ethics and problematics
of representation. This semester our focus will again be
two-fold. Through recent documentaries, we will
be looking at the current issues and debates in the
world of non-fiction filmmaking, as well as practical
challenges faced by filmmakers. Throughout the
semester, various filmmakers will be invited to present
and discuss their work. On the practice side, each student
will have an opportunity to experiment with representation
of reality by making a short non-fiction film and
presenting it at various stages in a workshop format.
