Course contents:

A comparative seminar that traces the dynamic relations between the language of film and other language systems. It pays particular attention to the difference between alphabetic thought (language in the narrow sense of the word) and thought in images (going beyond the standard semiological interpretation). The seminar advances the idea of thinking about film as a process and sets it against the reductive perception of film as an artefact.
