Course Units: 1

In this course we will examine the works of some of Spain’s most prominent filmmakers, focusing especially on how they portray traditional definitions of “Spanishness,” represent Spain’s regional and ethnic diversity, grapple with evolving social norms, and engage with European and global filmmaking traditions and markets. You will become familiar with the conventions of a variety of genres, from arthouse to romantic comedy. Throughout the course you will gain analytical skills and technical vocabulary that will enable you to enjoy a deeper understanding of cinema and discuss it fluently in Spanish.
