Description: In this course, we will explore how the intimate and subjective narratives of autobiographical documentary film creatively interpret broader historical, cultural, and social issues. We will view a variety of genres, including home movies, video diaries, poetic and performance pieces, and reflexive films that offer meta-commentaries on this art form. This FWIS focuses on building confidence in responding to visual media forms.
