DESCRIPTION
This course presents an introduction to the use of cinema throughout history as a medium for the transmission of political ideas, values, and attitudes. It follows a chronological approach, taking students from the beginning of the 20th century to modern-day film with a threefold objective. First, to introduce students to the concept of propaganda, the theoretical models regarding its methods and effectiveness, and its applications in audio-visual media. In the second place, to approach the History of the last century through case studies, by analysing each film screened in its specific historical context and by understanding movies both as products and as contributors of the culture surrounding them. Lastly, to foster critical analysis regarding the role of cinema in transmitting ideas and attitudes, as well as the ability to identify underlying messages in filmic production
