| Course contents : | With course meetings distributed over the entire school year, numbering twenty sessions of one hour and a half (not including showings of films), this course covers most of the history of cinema, from its invention by the Lumière brothers up to the 1960s. The course gives equal importance to aesthetic considerations (history of major currents and schools, genres, styles, authors, languages) and to economic ones (history of the film industry in all its parts, from Hollywood studios to small producers and European distributors).
Each class meeting will feature a full-length showing of one or more films, related to the historical period being studied at that time. |

| Course objective : | This course has three main objectives:
1 To see: To see films in which students generally have access and learn to look critically. Learn to detect the signs of labor in which each film is the fruit and traces of human history, societies and arts that brings in its wake. To this end, the course is illustrated by a major program of projections.
2 To know: Provide basic knowledge, to have essential landmark to gain an overview of the cinema history from its origins to the end of sixties. The course has an encyclopaedic dimension.
3 To design: Over its already long history, cinema has portrayed several visions of the world (sometimes conflicting) and that we can now analyze the performances and understand the effects. The history of cinema invited to reflect the multiple ways in which the film was over a hundred years (and still today) a powerful instrument meaning production. |
