    Description
    This class involves a survey and critical analysis of films by various cinema and media directors within the film and media industries. The class will deconstruct a director's or a collection of directors' work (instructor's choice) throughout the course of the semester, focusing on aesthetic, thematic, ideological, socio-cultural, historical, industrial, geographical and/or political continuities and shifts that span the director's/directors' career(s). Students will be expected to articulate specific insights of the director's/directors' work through essay writing, in-class activities, critical and creative projects, and quizzes and exams.
