Art of the Film

Art of the Film

In this course, you will engage eco-imaginations in experimental and mainstream film and video, with a focus on material that combines ecological awareness with fantastical elements: from blockbusters like Mad Max: Fury Road and the Godzilla franchise to experimental shorts like the Kenyan Afrofuturist Pumzi and the disability culture video Waking the Green Sound. You will deepen your close reading skills, and you will make your own short videos using your phones. We will ask questions about eco-imaginations on TikTok and other social media, and look at the curation of festivals and sharing platforms that offer new relations to the worlds that surround us.
