Synopsis:

The course teaches students about the aesthetic categories applied in film art and entertainment. It examines film in the context of the theory of communication, IT, and as a system. It explains concepts such as aesthetic norm, value, function, aesthetic economy, novelty of information, aesthetic experience, and aesthetic judgement, the relationship between modernity and kitsch, realism and stylisation, categories of high/low, tragic/comic, beauty/ugliness, catharsis, irony, humour, satire, embarassment, peace, harmony. It examines the formation and deformation of reality in the film image and other aesthetic aspects of film language, and it prepares students to independently analyse films from these perspectives. Soft-core and hard-core aesthetics. The course draws on examples from films and occasionally uses entire films.
