Description: FRESHMAN SEMINAR: THE CREATIVITY OF FRANCOPHONE CINEMA: CHALLENGING THE HOLLYWOOD EMPIRE
*****
The dynamic film production of French-speaking countries forms a unified artistic body still unadulterated by the Hollywood canon. A fundamentally non-commercial conception of cinema inherited from France allows Francophone directors to voice their otherwise silenced cultures. The 12 recent Francophone movies selected expose students to unconventional Western or non-Western images. Taught in English, all films subtitled in English and screened during class.
