    Description
    The goal of this course is to familiarize students with Non-Fiction/Reality production theory and practice. The course will challenge students to develop a critical eye, and deepen their appreciation of the many different modes of Non-Fiction/Reality film and television. In addition, at the end of the semester, each student will produce and direct a short Non-Fiction/Reality film or TV show to be exhibited in class. We will consider the Non-Fiction/Reality as an art form, a cultural artifact, a mode for social change, and as a means for representing cultures. In-class screenings will explore a variety of films and TV shows that will survey the range of Non-Fiction/Reality expression, from the classic texts, to the independent and experimental forms, and everything in-between.
