The course “Film Narratology” reviews central approaches in the study and practice of film narrative. The course comprises of two main sections. The first discusses central methodologies in the study of narrative and will address questions such as the relations between narrativity and the moving image, the viewer’s activity, the relations between the cinematic medium and other narrative media (mainly literature); and ways by which cinema engages with such narrative functions as narration, focalization, subjectivity, consciousness, reliability etc – questions relevant to the film researcher as to the film-maker. Vis a vis these questions the course will strive to map the narrative elements characteristic, and at times unique, to the cinematic medium. The second section discusses (with the aid of the methodologies discussed in the first section) main cinematic practices such as Classical Hollywood Cinema, Modernist European Cinema, Documentary Cinema, Complex Narrative Cinema, Interactive Cinema and contemporary  television.
