IMPORTANT: course preregistration ends today!

In case you didn't know, pre-registration for your fall courses ends today. We want to make sure all our amazing film course offerings are on your radars! ALL these courses count for the Film Minor (which is unusually flexible for a Minor--just 4 FILM courses in any order). All these courses also count toward the Film Concentration AND two of them count toward General Education AS WELL!: Environmental Cinema counts for the Environmental Sustainability category, and Video Essays counts for experiential learning. Though Video Essays has a prerequisite of FILM 220 (Intro to Film), you are already more qualified for taking it by being in this 400 level FILM class! So, just email Dr. Walker if you want a waiver and a place in that class ([email protected])--it's that simple!

Here are all the course flyers! PLEASE NOTE: aside from Environmental Cinema, none of these courses is routinely offered every year.

NEW COURSE!: FILM 407: Video Essays/currently listed on Gullnet as FILM 401: Studies in Film (subtitled "Video Essays")
Elsie Walker

This is a hands-on course for learning how to “write” analysis using pieces of cinema. Learn how to edit the films of your choice to create argumentative and creative compositions from them as “found materials” that you uniquely reframe, interpret, interact with, and present to different audiences on your own terms. Learn aesthetic and poetic ways of working with your film/s to produce knowledge along with having artistic impact. At the end of the course, you will have mentoring about submitting your work to online journals and film festivals. No previous training in film studies is required. Counts as an Experiential Learning course for General Education, as well as for the Film Minor and the Film Concentration.
