ENF 2089: History of Cinema II: WWII to Present (4 cr.)

We begin with the war years, Italian neorealism,

film noir, the decline of the Hollywood studio

system, and new documentary and avant-garde

approaches. International art cinemas from Europe

and Japan in the 50s and 60s, such as the French

New Wave, are considered. Other key movements,

from Brazilian Cinema Novo to New German Cinema,

African and Indian cinema and other postcolonial

cinemas also receive attention. We consider

Hollywood's revival and its increasing

commercialism, as well as China's "Fifth

Generation," feminist and other independent

practice, and films from Australia, the Middle

East, Hong Kong and elsewhere. Part 1 is not a

prerequisite. Previously offered as ENG 3029;

students who earned credit for ENG 3029 previously

may not take ENG 2089 for credit.
