FILMM-UH 1119J Socialism on Screen (3 Credits)
Typically offered January term
Socialism on Screen: Just over one hundred years ago, the USSR set out to launch one of the world's greatest experiments at ending human inequality through a complete reworking of economy and society. Property was to be fundamentally rethought, along with the very concepts of race, gender, family, labor, and the common good. To get there, they insisted, humans themselves should be rebuilt. From the very first days, "soft power" was central to winning the war over hearts and minds. The masses would need supervision, and cinema played a leading role. In the words of Trotsky, cinema would become the government's new church. What was this vast social experiment and what are its legacies today? With a wide-ranging look at socialism on screen, this course introduces students to film theory and criticism, political economy, and creative approaches to egalitarian living. We include key sites around formerly communist Prague to fully grasp the experiential dimensions of all at stake, from some of the city’s oldest churches to its most famous cinema halls, from opera houses of old to today's National Film Museum, and with guest speakers on a youth spent in movie halls under the socialist era’s Prague Spring.
This course will be offered in January-Term 2025.

FILMM-UH 1120J Media and Memory (4 Credits)
Typically offered January term
Film, video and photography play a vital role in preserving cultural memory. The course studies organizations that collect this material and examines the cultural purposes they serve. It presents theories explaining the human habit of collecting and its relation to memory. BA is a fascinating site for learning what role media can play in memorialization. The "Dirty War" (1976-1983) still marks its institutions; its impact of censorship and human destruction still shape the daily work of archivists. While grassroots activity insists on the presence of the "disappeared," cultural institutions, as well as families, can confront the complete loss of an archive. Recently, new laws have supported the establishment of numerous new memory organizations. Museums, artists, and activist groups have found routes to memorialization, through curating or making film; erecting topographies of memory in the physical landscape; building parks of memory at critical sites; and understanding "Things as Bridges" to social experience, e.g. memory and history as graspable through encounters with objects. The course links to broader matters of social justice and human rights.

FILMM-UH 1519J Culture and Popular West African Cinema (3 Credits)
Typically offered January term
Culture and Popular West African Cinema: How do the so-called peripheral cultural expressions navigate and influence global media landscapes and audiences. What are the implications for local cultural identity in such exchange? Nollywood, the Nigerian film industry, and Ghallywood, the Ghanaian popular cinema, exemplify this dynamic. Since the early 1990s, both film industries have defined a sub-continental cinema culture, which has made a notable presence in the African diasporas of North America and Europe. Both have also debuted on Netflix, a significant marker of their global reach. This regional cinema has created a popular mode of expression that is distinctively West African, blending local content with an ability to engage with global themes. How do we explain the co-option of popular West African cinema into the media space of the global north? Is it a result of the mere commodification of "third world" cultures in Western media? If so, what has it done right to achieve this status? Students will explore these questions through a close analysis of the grassroots origins of selected films, pointing to the regional similarities in narrative style and themes. Is it possible to discuss this regional cinema as "third cinema"?
This course will be offered in June-Term 2025.

FILMM-UH 1910 Docu-Fiction (4 Credits)
Typically offered Spring
Fact may or may not be stranger than fiction, but invariably both exert strong influences in creating narrative. This course explores how documentary and fiction are combined throughout history and in different cultures. The course will include an examination of the work of ten filmmakers who have merged both formats to create singular hybrid films. Dramatic reconstructions, manipulated imagery or fictional interstitials are frequently incorporated into documentaries to elevate realism. Conversely, fiction occasionally crosses over into documentary to create a sense of authenticity or truthfulness. Lastly, the division is sometimes completely eradicated making it difficult to distinguish the reality from the imaginary. Over the course of the semester, students will create their own docu-fiction short films. Students will bring together fiction and non-fiction story elements, reflecting on how each form complements the other.

FILMM-UH 3110 Archives, Methods, Screens (4 Credits)
Typically offered Fall
This course focuses on practice-led research and research-led practice as methodologies for thinking about art and media in relation to archives and screens.

Assignments encourages students to understand differences between making and studying in non-hierarchical and non-sequential ways. By emphasizing feminist postcolonial transnational indigenous and posthuman approaches the course shifts attention from dominant modes such as flat-on-the-screen time-based commercial films as entertainment to immersive interactive locative auto-generative mobile nonlinear and tactical modes for producing research through arts practice and producing arts practice through research.

FILMM-UH 3511 Advanced Filmmaking (4 Credits)
Typically offered Spring
In this intensive course, Film and New Media majors will define a research question and explore different iterations of the same theme through different modes of film making. These iterations will be in the form of sketches where students will be encouraged to experiment the same set of ideas/subjects/narratives using different combinations of the tools at their disposal. Different formal choices will lead to entirely new set of explorations and meanings embedded in the same theme. This course attempts to blur boundaries between documentary and narrative film, conceptual and emotive cinema, art and communication. Students are encouraged to reflect on 'what' they want to express and 'how' they intend to express this. But the key motivation for the assignments is to lead students to addressing the question - 'why'. Why am I making this image and what is my relationship with and responsibility towards this image - this is the core concern that students will grapple with. Students are encouraged to locate their research question within Abu Dhabi or the UAE.
