This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of contemporary experimental films with a eye and ear to the history of film, including installation art films. It focuses on cultivating a basic understanding of important issues in sound studies/musicology in relation to experimental films from around the world and including Taiwan. Analysis of films screened in class and in the film series this semester will include not only readings in film, sound and visual theory and philosophy (primarily Alain Badiou), but practical analysis of techniques for cinematography, editing, sound production, and presentation.
None.
Discussion of day's reading(s) (presented by a student in seminar format) Preview/discussion of short experimental films.
Students will present analyses of readings and films in class presentations (at least 2). (50%) Attendance and reports on the Blue Magpie Experimental Film Series (try to attend all screenings); minimum number of critiques of select films at screenings: 6. (25%) Final research or creative project. (25%) Attendance is handled separately: 2 points are subtracted from the final grade for each absence (counted as being more than 10 minutes late to class).
