Description: This course introduces students to a rich cinematic tradition: movies made by women. Starting in the 1970s and moving to the present, our fifty-year survey will be a global one and consider a range of genres, aesthetics, and production modes. We will also examine the broader artistic, political, and social contexts that have shaped and been shaped by the cinematic work of women. We will ask: what does the world’s film history look like through the lens of women filmmakers? And what methods are needed to appreciate and engage critically with such work? Students cannot receive credit for CMST 301 if previously taken HART 364 or SOCI 389.
