About the Course:
If you think Chinese movies are all about martial arts, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, think again. Though having enjoyed a significant amount of commercial success, most of the well-known Chinese-language films in the United States tend to focus on certain genres and do not represent the multi-faceted Chinese cinema as a whole. This course introduces students to a wide variety of films from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
Based on a similar course offered at Peking University, China, the CCDC course places focus on screening, understanding and analyzing movies that brought Chinese cinema world attention. Students will learn different aspects and nuances of Chinese cinema through film screening, discussion, reading, lectures, and homework assignments. In addition, students will have the opportunity to develop skills for film analysis.
No prior knowledge or language skills are required. All students are welcome to join the class.
