DESCRIPTION

This course explores cinema through a Jewish lens. Observing periods from the great figures of early cinema, to the unsung heroes of the silent years, to modern filmmakers with their behemoth budgets. Through exploration of filmic themes, students will discover the impetus with which filmmaking has become one of the strongest and most malleable media of modern arts for change. Through seminar discussions, screenings, workshops and field trips, we will examine not only how films are made, but also what impact Jewish Cinema has made on the lives of everyday Europeans - and how that has changed throughout the 20th and 21st Centuries respectively.
