FILM 2220 - Women Directors

This survey of women directors teaches the history, contributions, and the distinct perspectives women directors bring to the medium. The class integrates these concepts with cultural, sociological, political, technological, and cinematic factors. To this end, this course looks at female authorship, feminist aesthetics, and film and media criticism as discourses and practices that inform women’s cinema. This is a lower division survey course with a focus on diversity, designed for the non-major as well as the film major.
