GMAN   402 WOMEN FILMMAKERS:  A 20TH CENTURY RETROS Credits 3.00  Spring 99
Filmmaking is celebrating its first hundred years.  Women's
contributions among it were significant throughout and deserve a
particular reviewing to help widen the established film canon.  To
assess women directors of the 20th century and their use of filmlanguage
should provoke not only debates amoung feminists, but among filmgoers of
other genders and persuations.  The course will concentrate on films by
European and American women directors, taking into account historical
pioneering, cultural identities, aesthetic particularities, gender
commitment, subject orientations and post-feminist attempts.  Importance
will also be given to the contexts and conditions of women's film
production.  Class discussions will be in English and all films viewed
will be in English or with English subtitles.  German majors are
expected to concentrate on a final paper on women directors in German
Cinema.  Please consult Eifler Webpage for further information.
Also offered as WGST 358.
