Course description
The seminar will engage with major debates about cinema such as the meaning of “independent” cinema, the degree to which the label “classical” can be applied to Hollywood’s texts and modes of production, the ways in which distribution and exhibition can be researched, the role of the production code in relation to auteurs and ideology, and the role of contemporary media conglomerates.
