This course offers a historical survey of the major film movements that have defined film aesthetics. During the 1920s and under the influence of European avant garde movements, filmmakers started to explore the possibilities of playing with the different elements of film form. The contributions of German Expressionism, French Impressionism, Soviet Montage, Surrealism, etc., have marked film aesthetics and the evolution of narrative fiction cinema. Since the introduction of sound and color, classical Hollywood, Neorealism, the Golden Era of Japanese and Indian cinemas, British Free Cinema, The French Nouvelle Vague, the New Hollywood, etc., have all enriched film aesthetics and enhanced cinema’s capacity of expression all the way to the present.
