Course Overview

Our聽Film and Politics short course examines different manifestations and articulations of the interrelationship between film and politics from the 1920s to the present day. It focuses primarily on four cultures: France, Germany, Japan and Spain. Dividing its material into a variety of themes, including film and expressionism, urban transformation, Latin American dictatorship, alienation and social class, the politics of realism, censorship and allegory and the politics of genre, the course will focus on:

  • a) the ways in which film can reflect on political developments both as they happen and in retrospect
  • b) how film can itself become a political instrument and whose purposes it can serve
  • c) how film can help to redefine the political.

The course will also help you to understand the relationship between individual films and the time and place of their production and to develop your film analytical skills.

Assessment is via an in-class commentary test (50%) and 2500-word essay (50%).

This can be taken as a standalone short course or as part of:
