DESCRIPTION
This module looks at the historical and formal development of film and the cinema industry from the perspective of World Cinema. It considers the significance of film from around the globe (E.g. Eastern Europe, Japan, Latin America, Africa, India) and charts the development of a global film industry. The module follows the historical methodology signalled in the preceding ?Rise of Cinema: Europe and America? unit and aims to widen the theoretical and analytical focus to instances of national cinemas that have provided a significant challenge and alternative to dominant ?Western? modes of narrative and representation.
