Description: This practice-based course will introduce students to film festivals and why they matter. Students will study how film festivals have shaped the art and business of filmmaking around the world, and they will then apply that knowledge by working collaboratively to produce a film series at Rice. A key component of this course will be a multi-day field trip, during which students will have the opportunity to experience a major film festival in action. Cross-list: HART 394.
