FLM 220 DOCUMENTARY THRY & PRODUCTN

This course examines how moving pictures can be used to explore, discuss, and creatively represent reality—and the issues of “truth,” ethics, and social power that arise from these practices—from the standpoint of both producers and critical viewers. This course surveys the evolution and diversity of form and content through examination of approach, topic, and ideological representation. Students will explore these concepts through class discussion and the production of three short documentary film projects.
