Subject guarantor:
Marie MRAVCOVÁ
Name of lecturer(s):
Marie MRAVCOVÁ
Learning outcomes of the course unit:

Improvement in thinking and writing about film (its content and style); posing relevant questions, consideration of appropriate analytical approaches, selection of adequate analysis subtopics (form) and interpretation (significance and purpose), formulation of one's viewpoint based on professional and supported arguments - not „impressionology.“

Mode of study:

Analytical seminar

Prerequisites and co-requisites:

Ability to use professional processes at a film school (recognition of the technical potential of film language), meaning an initiation into part of the professional discipline.

Recommended optional programme components:

None

Course contents:

The core of the course is created by the individual and performance (written) of class participants, consulted upon with the instructor. Several time during the semester is a colloquium discussion on the theme of a selected film and arranged so attention is gradually devoted to all elements and aspects of the film work (not only the theme but the construction of the image) so they may be consistently and thoroughly covered. The course program originates in the interests and suggestions of the participants, prefering works which document the most current trends in world cinema.

Recommended or required reading:

Film on media. Review and articles in professional periodicals. Internet information about filmmakers and the reception (reviews) of their works. Film festivals and other awards.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods:

Group discussion „provoked“ by the instructor with a collection of questions and questionably overly assertive (and possible demagogic) judgements, as well as rash superficial and overly subjective and evaluatve without appropriate argumentation. A written essay over a possible multi-faceted analysis and interpretation or a critique dedicated to a selected film of one's choice.

Assessment methods and criteria:

Course paper mark.
