Obsah kurzu

The course will focus on the film style and form - mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing - partly based on the readings of the book Film Art: An Introduction by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson. We will discuss the means of film style and form and how they present themselves in a dozen of films from various epochs and countries. Disclosure of possible meanings and interpretation of them is the aim of the course.

During the sessions students will watch the films in their entirety (English version or subtitled); short extracts illustrating particular topics will also be screened. The discussions in which we can exchange the ideas and experiences are important part of each lesson. Students should ask anything that is not clear enough, bring their own ideas and participate actively in the whole course.
