In this course, we explore themes of self, identity, and nation through the lens of experimental film and video art. How can identity be defined or expressed within a world shaped by diverse nationalities, languages, religions, and cultures? You will be introduced to the fundamentals of moving image production using a range of methods—including recorded and found footage, screen recordings, and still photography. Technical instruction will cover working with digital cameras, lighting setups, and cinematographic techniques, along with video editing in Adobe Premiere and related apps. Through lectures, film screenings, and discussions, we will examine moving images from early cinema to the present, with a focus on issues of representation—both on-screen and behind the camera. The course includes hands-on creative assignments, writing exercises, critical readings, peer critiques, and visits to local art and film institutions, offering a comprehensive introduction to moving image as a medium for personal and political expression.
