January 2005 2:45-5:15 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday Film Structure & Film Language True Lies introduces students to film literacy. Students will engage in dialogues to deconstruct the evolving structure and language of modern film. Instead of texts, we will go to primary sources: the films themselves. After a brief taste of Méliès , Lumière, and Eisenstein, we will pick up with Citizen Kane and work our way up to Primer (if it’s available in time) by Shane Carruth, who won this year’s Sundance Grand Jury Prize for his $7,000-film. Our core list of films will focus on narrative drama / tragedy. At the end of the course, it is our intention that each student will henceforth view every movie or video he/she sees or makes with greatly increased insight about how films lie and tell the truth (Godard's Paradox.)
