leichte Lagerspuren Kurzbeschreibung\nFrom screen kisses to gender roles, Film, Form and Culture explores the interaction between the movies and the society of which they are a part. Students are introduced to the elements of film - the shot, the cut, the soundtrack - and they are encouraged to think seriously about the means by which these elements shape an audience's understanding of the narrative. On a larger scale, students are asked to consider how a film can influence its viewer even after the last reel has run out - and the way that societal changes radically alter the course of film history. \n\nSynopsis\nFrom screen kisses to gender roles, Film, Form and Culture explores the interaction between the movies and the society of which they are a part.
