Covering early cinema, experimental and documentary cinema, television, and the internet. Key emphasis on practice based assignments with a concurrent focus on the historical impact of the field from seminal moments to the contemporary moment through films and readings on the subject. Graduate students in this course will be required to work on an additional final project at a higher level of complexity based on a proposal created in consultation with, and approved by the faculty.
