Course contents:

Alternative Perspectives is an intensive viewing class, focusing principally on films that are not seen in other classes in this school, being principally radical, non-narrative, experimental films, sometimes long and often difficult, although certain classic silent and early sound films, which are frequently discussed but rarely viewed, will also be explored, insofar as they represent some of the most innovative departures in film history in the practices of montage (Potemkin) and sound design (M). As the primary focus of this class is analysis based on the direct experience of projected works, attendance is mandatory.
