Display Schedule

Subject guarantor:

Name of lecturer(s):

Vladimír HENDRICH

Learning outcomes of the course unit:

The aim of the screenings is a collective audience experience with introductions and group discussions. For expanding this an analytical paper is required at the end of the semester.

Mode of study:

This course consists of screenings in the large hall at the City Library. Prior to screenings is an introduction and subsequent moderated discussion. Often there is the participation of the filmmaker. At the end of the semester the submitted texts are evaluated.

Prerequisites and co-requisites:

Participation in screenings. Some presented films may be view from DVD but the real group screening and subsequenty discussion are part of the key experience in this course.

Course contents:

Based on discussions on the Screenings program and conversations from the previous year with a number of students, who complained about the overly artistic, that is, experimental character of the program, we have chosen another type of program style for this year.

Winter Semester: The program will be presented mainly at the City Library and will be focused primarily upon last year's internationally widely distributed premieres (this year's are significantly more expensive and less available and will be a part of next year's program). The program has been formed with two types of films:

a) widely distributed films which have undisputed artistic qualities or ambitions

b) widely distributed films which have been extremely popular

Summer semester: The program will be presented at Lažanský Palac and will be focused exclusively on contemporary films of great artistic, social or experimental quality.

Assessment methods and criteria:

CHARACTER OF THE WRITING:

The required text is an analysis of one of the screened films which focuses on the structural features of a work (that is; style, narrative form, poetry of an element) and its relationship to the topic, or plot of the film.

The text should not be devote to a description of events, facts about the film or filmmaker. The analysis will be assessed by CAS members and credit will be announced the during the exam period. The award of credit in part is a verbal analysis and assessment of the submitted text.
