This course provides an overview of film theory and its connection to the aesthetics of film for graduate students. The course is designed to provide a foundation in academic film study in the context of contemporary film research.___This seminar is for all graduate students interested in the practices of Cinema, Moving Image Arts and Time-based Installation. Structured around screenings/ presentations and discussion of the contemporary moving image, we will view films, videos and moving image art on are own and with visiting filmmakers and scholars. This class aims to deepen dialogue in the moving image arts. It also connects graduates students across disciplines engaged in varied approaches to moving image practices, from narrative feature filmmaking to hybrid video installation forms, and video based performances. The class also aims to foster links around these time inspired practices, across the CCA community and into the Bay Area community. We will hearing from staff at KADIST Art Foundation to look at work in their collection, and work with Canyon Cinema to view and curate work from their collection. Students will make work in relation to these screenings which will result in a virtual class exhibition.
