The Contemporary World Cinema Project

Inspired by ideas articulated by Dudley Andrew, Franco Moretti and Catherine Grant, this seminar will examine questions of contemporary world cinema from multiple perspectives (for example: What do international films look like? Why do they look that way? Who watches them?) by working back and forth between concepts of examining single, individual texts (what is this particular film trying to tell me?) and broader, globally relevant contexts (what do we learn when we examine many films in a similar manner?).
