COURSE OBJECTIVES: The relationship of cinema with history has become a valid and important tool in the approach and analysis of films. Over the last years we seek in every film its historic dimensions and we analyze every image to find possible hidden information. In this lesson an effort will be made to approach and analysis films by following the meeting point of the two fields in screen.

LEARNING OUTCOMES: The aim of this course  is to approach films that come from various different genres and backgrounds in the history of cinema (Italian neorealism, third cinema, NEK, modern cinema of Latin America). Through the approach and analysis of films students will become accustomed with the theoretical framework of Marc Ferro and his current theoretical allies regarding the relationship between cinema and history.
