DESCRIPTION
This module will investigate the shifting theoretical and pragmatic notions that lie behind the concepts of world,
global, art and independent cinema. The first part is common with MFTP511 (Contemporary British Cinema and
Television) and explores ideas of national and trans-national cinemas. The second part will begin with the
development of art cinema and the key film movements that helped to shape it, then going on to address
contemporary world cinema using case studies to examine how recent practices have been seen to both uphold and
contest previous notions of art and national cinema.
