DESCRIPTION
This module will examine the complex nexus of cinema, politics and filmmaking practices that have defined the concept of ?Third Cinema? since the 1960s. The focus will be on African, Asian and Latin American models, and will go on to explore the links to contemporary filmic manifestations of political resistance in the West as well as in the developing world. Finally, the module ponders the future of this type of cinema in the light of digital technologies and global competition from ?Hollywood?. Students will explore the writings and manifestos of the Third Cinema filmmakers themselves and situate these in the light of contemporary critical and theoretical work.
