Contemporary Transnational Cinema

Course Description

Examines contemporary film examples of "transnational" cinema, i.e., cinema that finds reception and distribution beyond its country of origin. Growing global interconnectedness has resulted in the expansion of a transnational market and audience for films. By closely analyzing a range of contemporary films from Argentina, Brazil, China, Iran, India, Germany, Spain, South Africa, and the United States, students may explore how these films' narrative styles reinforce or challenge the form of cinematic storytelling popularized globally by Hollywood cinema. Trains students to watch and write about films by placing them in cultural and historical context.
