This course will consider some of the ways that movies have changed in the 21st century. Digital technologies for production, distribution, and reception have been revolutionized in the past twenty years or so. It is still possible to make older-style movies with the new technologies, and many filmmakers continue to do so. But new technological developments have led to new possibilities for audiovisual invention and expression, and many filmmakers have explored these possibilities. We will look at a wide range of movies, music videos, and other audiovisual media, and read attempts by critics to theorize the differences that these experiments have brought to the ways that we experience, understand, and imagine movies. Some classes will involve feature film screenings followed by discussion; others will focus on readings and short clips.

The main reading for this class comes from an online, open source collection of essays: Post-Cinema: Theorizing 21st Century Film, edited by Shane Denson and Julia Leyda, 2016 (henceforth designated as PC). We will read all the essays in this volume over the course of the semester. It is available at http://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/post-cinema/ <http://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/post-cinema/>. You can either read individual chapters online, or download the entire volume as a single PDF.
Additional texts will be made available in the form of web links or PDFs.
