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.</p><p class="">The main reading for this class comes from an online, open source collection of essays: <em class="">Post-Cinema: Theorizing 21st Century Film</em>,
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 <a href="http://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/post-cinema/" class="">http://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/post-cinema/</a>. You can either read individual chapters online, or download the entire volume as a single PDF.<br class="">
Additional texts will be made available in the form of web links or PDFs.</p></div></div></body></html>
