MM 305 - Film History I

(3)
This course examines the development of cinema as a mode of expression from its initial inception in the late 19th century through World War II. Film History I begins by reviewing the proto-cinematic arts and then surveys early days of film, the birth of the industry in Europe and the U.S., the silent era, and the Golden days of Hollywood. The class also explores the propaganda films produced during WWII, both by the Allies and Axis powers. Students will view and research select films from each period, studying them both as reflective of their historical content and as one of the social forces that has shaped history.
