FILM 303
Spring 2025
| Section:
01
|
We will study the major trends in animation from its inception through our contemporary period with an emphasis on aesthetics and storytelling. Our main questions: How has the animated film developed and been defined as a film technique, a genre, and an art form? American works will be in conversation with Eastern European, Russian, Canadian, British, French, and Japanese animated film and television. Our approach is grounded in the rigorous historical study of form. |
