French cinema is one of the most historically and culturally significant national cinemas in the world. Beginning with the early silent period of the late 19th century, which marks the origins of cinema as it is known today, in this subject you will also survey some of the most significant movements of French cinema; from the experimental films of the Surrealists and the Nouvelle Vague, to the gritty depictions of city life of New Realism. You will be provided with foundational knowledge of French film theory and criticism, together with background information on the socio-political context of film production in France. The subject will be taught in English with all prescribed films having English subtitles. For this reason, the subject is open to all students with an interest in film, and not just those who are majoring in French.
