MLT 273 - Introduction to Spanish Cinema

Course Units: 1.0

(TBD: Staff) This course examines canonical and non-canonical Spanish cinema by well-known as well as lesser-known filmmakers. In addressing questions pertaining to national and regional identities, the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship, the Spanish transition to a democratic republic and its evolving cultural values, and the country’s subsequent incorporation into the European Union, the course also revisits Spain’s imperial past and the country’s place, today, in world affairs. Students should expect to acquire greater knowledge of Spanish cultural diversity and history, while developing further their film analysis, conversation, and writing skills. CC: HUM
