Contemporary Cinema & Digital Futures Study + Internship in London: London South Bank University Program Spring 2019 Semester

This module will focus on contemporary cinema from across the globe to provide students with a flavour of current trends in terms of themes and aesthetics. It will cover the development of CGI cinema as the most recognizable form of digital cinema in the popular imagination, but will expand the definition to encompass diverse genres, forms and national cinemas to afford an awareness of the richness and diversity of contemporary film output. It will frame cinema today in terms of digital production methods and seek to relate the particular forms of digital cinema to both a new kind of affect and a new kind of ?control society? characterised by flows of information.
