African American Images in Film
|
|
|
This course examines the historical and social evolution of African Americans in film from the early 1900s to the present. The course will provide an overview of contributions from African Americans in cinema and trace their impact in Hollywood through critical analysis. Films show what a society accepts and rejects, therefore the course will consider major themes, historical movements, and how films capture societal issues. Most of the discussions will focus on images in front of the camera, although works from African Americans behind the camera may be explored as well. Offered: Fall & Winter.
