USOC 304 - Film and Society
3 Credit(s)
Films allow us to understand a little of what it would be like to be someone else-a different race, gender, sexual orientation, class, ethnic group-and to imagine living in another place or time. This class is intended to engage students in social issues through the lens of an art form most of us enjoy but often do not analyze. The goal is to sharpen observations and develop perceptive viewing through the difficult task of total immersion in the film while, at the same time, maintaining objectivity and critical detachment.
