    Description
    This course explores both U.S. and international motion pictures from 1895 to present day. Students examine historical developments and innovations in film as an art form and as a distinctive medium of communication. Screenings of important films, discussions of these films and their directors, and the critical reactions of the students are the major focus of class activities.
